HDC, with relevant authorities, have begun removing tables and chairs placed on pavements and empty hedge areas in Hulhumale'
Housing Development Corporation (HDC) has begun removing tables and chairs from pavements in Hulhumalé streets, following non-compliance by cafes and takeaway shops with an order to cease such practices.
HDC had issued a directive on July 23, instructing these businesses to refrain from placing tables and chairs on pavements. The agency warned that action would be taken against those failing to comply.
With the deadline for removal of these items having passed, HDC, in collaboration with relevant authorities, began the removal of tables and chairs placed on Hulhumale' streets yesterday.
Businesses operating by placing tables and chairs on pavements and in empty hedge areas have led to various issues.
One significant concern is customers smoking near these tables and chairs, particularly in areas close to schools, causing inconvenience to pedestrians.
