New Era for Nellaidhoo Island: President Solih Inaugurates Major Infrastructure Projects

Stalwart Collaboration for Coastal Protection and Harbour Upgradation

In a prominent display of continuous infrastructural advancement, President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih ushered in a new era for Nellaidhoo Island of Maldives’ Haa Dhaalu Atoll on a warm Sunday. Taking the helm of his atoll tour, President Solih inaugurated a trio of freshly completed initiatives: an improved harbour, a state-of-the-art powerhouse, and a coastal protection project that aim to cater to modern-day requirements.

Central to the rejuvenation of the island is the Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC), the anchor behind the execution of the coastal protection and harbour upgrading ventures. Not only does the refashioned harbour boast of 164 metres of breakwater and 224 metres of quay wall, but also includes an additional 125 metres of groynes along with other enhancements. As for the coastal protection plan, it sees 873 metres of robust revetment in place, accompanied by bountiful provision for a 1,500-cubic-meter swimming area.

A Power Plant Par Excellence

Replacing the humdrum with the avant-garde, a newly built powerhouse on Nellaidhoo Island provides a whopping power production capacity of 980 kilowatts. This constitutes a pivotal shift towards an era of dependable and resourceful power provision. Thoughtfully located at a distance from densely populated residential regions, the powerhouse ensures minimal disturbances to the peace-loving residents of the island. What’s more, the place doesn’t skimp on space and modernity, accommodating a significant number of personnel comfortably.

President Solih’s Pioneering Approach to Equitable Development

Incontestably, under the metal-tested leadership of President Solih, the administration has made giant leaps toward equal developmental prospects across all dwelled-upon Maldivian islands. This incorporates elevating the standard of living for its citizens, and powering them to lead lives of dignity and grace. During his excursion to an array of islands, President Solih has been instrumental in sanding down each project to its completion, officially declaring the successful culmination of a multitude of projects and services.
