Construction Minister Dr. Abdullah Muththalib stated today that the water drainage pump station at Maafannu Cemetery has been damaged due to negligence by the contractor tasked by Male' City Council to clear the area, and this is believed to be intentionally done.
Muththalib told Mihaaru that while the City Council has been working with a contractor to clear the Maafannu Cemetery land, the contractor has been very irresponsible in their work. He said they had removed and damaged the pipes connected to the stormwater pump station built within the cemetery for draining water from the Maafannu area.
