Land reclamation at Giraavaru Falhu has resumed after a five-month interruption, according to reports from early November.

Approximately 115 hectares, or 68.8 percent of the project, have been completed. Maldives Airports Company Limited is overseeing the work with the support of a government loan of MVR 650.7 million.

Officials have not yet announced a final completion date for the site, which is intended to support housing development.

The resumption comes amid broader discussions about major reclamation projects, their financing, and progress toward national housing goals.
