President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has stated that residents who had their names removed from Hiya flat list during the former government will receive housing from the project due to commence this year.

He made the remarks while answering a question regarding the issue on 'Raees ge Javaab' program.

President Dr. Muizzu said that he will fulfil his pledge and that the residents who did not receive flats from the Hiya project will be given flats from the housing project by this administration.

"Thousands of residents who were in the permanent list for Hiya flats had their names removed from the list during former president Ibrahim Mohamed Solih's tenure. I pledged to resolve the issue and ensure they receive housing. We are planning to commence a housing project this year and they will be given flats from that project," President Dr. Muizzu said.
