18,955 individuals are eligible for land under the former administration’s ‘Binveriya’ scheme. 9,003 land plots will be issued to recipients from Hulhumale’, Gulhifalhu and Giraavarufalhu

The publication of the list of the recipients of 4,000 flats developed by Fahi Dhiri Ulhun Corporation (FDC) in Hulhumale’ triggered protests from the public over the point allocation. Following investigations into the complaints, ACC said only 20 percent of the forms were valid.

President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has previously stated that a committee, comprising of trusted individuals, will be formed to ensure flats have been awarded to eligible individuals and verify the validity of the list of recipients.
