Giravaru Falhu land handover to begin in June

President Mohamed Muizzu on Saturday announced that the handover of land plots from Giravaru Falhu under the ‘Binveriya’ scheme will begin in June.

In a post on X, the President provided an update on the progress of the reclamation project and shared an image of the site.

He said reclamation work is ongoing and is expected to be completed next month.

The project, which resumed in late January after a pause, involves the reclamation of 169 hectares of land. Prior to the suspension, 56 hectares had been completed.

The government said work was initially carried out using one dredger, with a second dredger deployed in February to increase progress.

Following the completion of surveys, the handover of plots will begin in June.

According to the revised plan, the total number of plots has been set at 4,072. The previous plan had a shortfall of 610 plots.
