President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has decided to provide a free case of fish to every household for the upcoming Ramadan month.

Speaking at the ongoing ceremony at the Social Center to mark the government’s first anniversary, President Dr. Muizzu said that during the last Ramadan, staple foods were given to the people of Maldives as Ramadan gifts.

However, the President said that he has instructed MIFCO to provide a free case of fish to every household instead of staple foods for the upcoming Ramadan month.

Last Ramadan, the government provided 10 kg of flour and 10 kg of rice to each household as gifts. The staple foods were distributed after checking the domestic electricity meter number and noting the ID card number of the person collecting the items.

President Muizzu announced that the government would gift a 10 kg bag of rice and a 10 kg bag of flour to every household last Ramadan while speaking to journalists after his official trip to China.
