President Extends Jurisdiction of 3 Islands

President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has extended the jurisdictions of Noonu Maafaru, Alif Alif Bodufolhudhoo, and Alif Dhaal Mahibadhoo to include uninhabited islands near these islands respectively.

President Muizzu made these changes through three resolutions to amend the registry of inhabited islands under powers granted to the President in Chapter 8 of the constitution and the Decentralisation Act of 2010.
