Responding to Sameer’s concern – President Muizzu pledged to lay asphalt on additional roads at Gemanafushi.

“We will develop the roads required redevelopment at this island including the aforesaid five roads. Hopefully, the island will see full benefits of this, including in fisheries and living standard,” he said.
