Director General Fathimath Shana Farooq signed the agreement on behalf of the Ministry at a ceremony held at the Planning Ministry yesterday. COO Shahid Hussain Moosa signed on behalf of MTCC.
While a total of MVR 29.9 million has been given for the completion of the project, the deadline for completion is 240 days.
Scope of project works:
- Massive 503-metre stone revetment on the western side of the island
- A massive 20-metre stone groyne
