Roads in Mal

The roads in Malé City have been blocked as a large number of people have taken to the streets to see the float parade held on the occasion of the country’s 50th Independence Day.

The float parade started at 8 p.m. tonight in front of the Social Center with the participation of 24 institutes of the government displaying a total of 34 floats.

As the people gather are gathered for the parade, the long awaited “Snow Float” with characters from the Disney animation Frozen was also displayed tonight.

The float by the Maldives Airports Company (MACL) is a float that showers snow on the streets where the cold can be felt.

The float parade is travelling East on Majeedhee Magu from the Social Center all the way to Sosun Magu and taking a left turn to Medhuziyaarai Magu. And then back to Majeedhee Magu near Nalahiya and going West to Boduthakurufaanu Magu where it’d be parked.
