Worries on the absence of public transportation service for Hulhumale' residents

HE Mr Maumoon Abdul Gayyoom
President of the Maldives

Mr. President,

Since Hulhumale' residents are increasing day by day, there are almost sixty staff attending shift duties at the Airport. Passengers arriving on midnight flights have no opportunity to go home, as the last dhoni for Hulhumale' leaves at 1.30 in the morning.
We see Airports Company vehicles, MTCC vehicles, NSS and Police vehicles freely driving between the Airport and Hulhumale' but the Airport Staff and the Arriving/Departing Passengers have no transport facilities available. This makes people lose their confidence in the government and start blaming them.
We have actually brought this to your attention, Mr. President, because we have made several complaints on this issue to Hulhumale' Development Cooperation and the Maldives Airports Company but nothing has been done so far.
Mr. President, we have every hope that you would look into this matter and facilitate Airport Staff to reach Airport for their duties on time and back home, facilitate arriving passengers reach their homes and departing passengers reach the Airport on time.

Maryam
