Even though the two scholars reached the island in a hot afternoon, many residents of the island queued up at the island harbour area to welcome them. Such long queues are usually seen when the President or politicians of the country visit the islands.
Foakaidhoo Police Station, the island council, institutions, organizations, atoll council, WDC and other members of the general public held a rel on the theme ‘Rahumathuge Moosun’ on Friday night. A large number of people turned up for the session.
