The Malé City Council is investigating an incident involving the illegal disposal of oil and other waste into a road junction on Roashanee Magu.
The council reported receiving multiple complaints from Henveiru residents regarding the issue, which has led to blockages and a foul odor in the area. In a social media post, the council emphasized the seriousness of the problem and stated that they are collaborating with the Health Protection Agency (HPA) to identify the individual responsible.
Aminath Shathufa, the council’s media official, confirmed that the culprit has not yet been identified.
The council urged the public to refrain from such “irresponsible and uncivilized acts” and called for community cooperation to maintain cleanliness and ensure Malé remains a comfortable environment for all.
Photos shared by the council show the affected junction situated in front of a residential street.
Roashanee Magu, initially commissioned by the Road Development Corporation (RDC) on January 26, 2020, was reconstructed and completed in December of the same year at a total cost of MVR 462 million.
