Maldives government earmarks 95,000 rufiyaa for disaster aid, fines Dhiraagu

The Maldives’ National Disaster Management authority approved an allocation of 95,000 rufiyaa for emergency response measures, with the budget released for the current month. The same period saw the telecom regulator impose a penalty on the Dhiraagu network operator for violations related to promotional practices, as announced by the National Disaster Manager’s office. Both actions were part of broader efforts to address public safety and regulatory compliance.

The emergency funds are intended to support rapid response to disasters, while the fine on Dhiraagu reflects enforcement of telecommunications standards.
