'Hiyaa' form collection on Sunday, token available online

While the application forms for flats under the "Hiyaa" project is set to begin on Sunday, the Ministry of Housing and Infrastructure has said that the tokens for the collection queue will be available online. 

The project's application forms became available on 6 May 2018 at the "Hiyaa Expo" held at Dharubaaruge by the Housing Ministry where information and application forms were made available to the public. The Ministry also established a system to download application forms online. 

Applicants can submit the forms starting from 3 June, Sunday. 

Talking on PSM's "Raajje Miadhu" (Maldives Today) program, the Deputy Minister at the Housing Ministry, Ibrahim Nazeem said that form submission is set to take place under a very easy procedure. 

And so to facilitate a system where applicants would not have to wait in queue, tokens will be made available via the mobile application, QueueBee. Via the mobile application, users can check their token status and go the Dharubaaruge when their token number is closer to being called. 

QueueBee is a queue management application that is currently being used in a number of state institutes. 

Deputy Ministry Nazeem said that there would be 21 counters accepting forms at Dharubaaruge. He said that there would be no need to stand in a queue too early.
