Dr Ali Haider Ahmed, Minister of Housing, Land and Urban Development, informed PSM that 119 plots have been handed over since the beginning of the year. Dr Haider stated that land is being handed over as it becomes available following the clearing process.

Dr Haider noted that addressing issues related to plots situated above essential underground main network lines, which are crucial for providing services, will take time. Additionally, the government has had to revise the boundaries of some plots that overlap with streets.

The plan for Gulhifalhu has also been revised due to the lack of allocated land for constructing basic service and resource facilities, affecting the plots already handed over.

The government confirmed that no changes have been made to the list of recipients awarded plots by the previous administration.
