The deadline for applications for swap land from Giraavaru lagoon to Gulhi lagoon has been extended.
More than 1,300 plots of land allocated under the Binnveriya Scheme during the government of former President Ibrahim Mohammed Solih will be transferred to the Gulhi lagoon.
According to the Housing Ministry, land plots were allotted in Giraavaru without sufficient land space to establish essential services on the reclaimed land.
According to an earlier notification issued by the Housing Ministry, a total of 1,347 plots can be relocated as some of the plots allotted from Giraavaru could not be taken away due to the change in the land use plan.
