Agreement underway to install more elevators in Hiyaa: President

The agreement is now in the process of being handed over to someone to install additional elevators in the Hiyaa towers to fulfill his presidential promise, the president has said.

The President was speaking at the foundation stone laying ceremony for the construction of a new school in the Hiyaa area on Monday.

"In the second phase, I promised to install more elevators in these towers. And as promised, hopefully, the necessary decisions and agreements are being made to install two elevators in each tower. Hopefully, within week 14, as scheduled, work will begin,” the President said.

The President said that the work will be completed as scheduled and then other activities planned in the area will continue.

"The second phase of Hulhumale is an area that has not been given much attention yet. As I promised during my campaign, the foundation stone laid today is the foundation stone for the development of this area in all its meanings," he said.

"This school will be a source of comfort to all the families who live in these towers”.

One of the biggest promises President Muizzu made to the people of the Hiyaa during the campaign was to provide MVR 200,000 in compensation for the finishing of the flats. To fulfill that promise, MVR 100,000 will be deducted from the total price of the flats, and the government has declared that the rest will be deducted from the rent.
