Police have begun towing vehicles illegally parked on Boduthakurufaanu Magu in Malé as congestion has increased following the reopening of the recently upgraded section of the road.
Traffic flow on Boduthakurufaanu Magu improved after the latest section developed under the road modernisation project was opened. However, vehicles have increasingly been parked in violation of regulations, contributing to congestion on the road.
Police said nine four-wheeled vehicles had been towed from Boduthakurufaanu Magu since Thursday night as part of an operation targeting illegally parked vehicles.
The operation will continue on Friday night, police said.
Police have asked motorists not to park illegally and urged owners to remove vehicles already parked in violation of regulations.

Action will be taken against vehicles found parked in violation of the regulations, police said.
