Housing minister Mohamed Aslam said on Tuesday that he is satisfied with the pace of construction of the flats being built by the government in Hulhumale Phase II.
Aslam made the remarks while replying to a question raised by Maafannu North MP Imthiyaz Fahmy during Tuesday's parliament sitting about the progress of the housing projects.
Aslam said he did not have specific details at the moment, but noted that he was satisfied with the pace of the projects.
"I can say with certainty, there is a good level of progress. The concrete work has been completed and the finishing of some buildings is underway," Aslam said.
The 4,000 flats under construction in Phase II have been handed over to India's JMC and National Buildings Construction Company (NBCC).
Last week, JMC workers stopped work and went on a week-long strike over their concerns of being treated inhumanely by their employer. The project's parent, the state-owned Fahi Dhiriulhun Corporation, said the issues were sorted out and work resumed on Friday.
