MDP access to Usfasgandu extended by three months

The period of issue of the Usfasgandu area to opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) to carry out its political activities has been extended by a further three months. Male city Mayor Maizaan Ali Manik revealed that the decision to extend the period of issue was taken by the majority members of the Male City Council which has MDP majority.

“The period of issue had expired on June 19. Following a request by the MDP to extend the period of issue, the Council had decided to facilitate the request,” Mayor detailed.

After the extension, the period of issue will expire in September.

Housing Ministry and the City Council have clashed over the issue of Usfasgandu to MDP previously. The Ministry has stressed that the Council had issued the area to MDP in violation of the agreement that entrusted such land plots to the Council.

Police on May 29, had attempted to dismantle the Usfasgandu area following a Criminal Court sanctioned search for alleged criminal offences. However, the Civil Court had halted the process after MDP filed the case in court.
