Information Officer of Planning Ministry, Mariyam Ina Majid has said that works of Industrial Village has been out on halt due to a change of plans.

Speaking to 'One Online', Ina revealed that leasing procedures will be publicised once works of development are completed. The number of plots to be leased and regulations of use will also be revealed once all the works were completed.

Development of the industrial village officially began in 2016, by the previous government.

The area which was specialised for waste management and industrial works carried out in the capital city was tasked to MTCC for development.

The former government had claimed that works would be wrapped up in 2017, with an official opening set for July 26. However, due to various reasons works have been on halt for over an year.
