Fitness and Recreation Centre in M. Mulah Officially Opened

The Fitness and Recreation Centre developed in M. Mulah by the Road Development Corporation (RDC) has been successfully completed and officially opened to the public.

The facility was inaugurated by the First Lady, Madam Sajidha Mohamed, at a special ceremony held on the island.

The ceremony was attended by the Minister of Youth Empowerment, Sports and Fitness, Abdulla Rafiu; the Minister of Health, Family and Social Services, Geela Ali; the Member of Parliament for the Mulah Constituency, Ibrahim Naufal; RDC Managing Director Ibrahim Nazeem; as well as members of the Mulah Council and senior officials from various government institutions.

The Mulah Recreation and Fitness Centre has been developed to accommodate a wide range of recreational activities, including carrom, billiards, table tennis, and foosball (garlando). The facility also features two badminton courts, two volleyball courts, restroom facilities, and a dedicated administrative office.

The construction of a fitness centre in Mulah had long been a key aspiration of the island's youth and residents. Although the project had previously been assigned to several parties, construction had not commenced. During President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu's official visit to the islands of Meemu Atoll, he met with the residents of Mulah and pledged to ensure the project's completion within the shortest possible timeframe.

The project was officially awarded to RDC on 29 March 2025, with construction commencing on 18 September 2025. Implemented under the Government's Public Sector Investment Programme (PSIP), the project was completed at a cost of MVR 3,387,706.00 within the contractual period of 180 days.

Upon completion, the new facility is expected to provide a modern recreational and fitness space for the residents of Mulah, promoting healthier lifestyles, youth engagement, and community well-being.
