The agreement was signed by Environment Ministry's Deputy Minister Mohamed Ansar, while COO Shahid Hussain Moosa signed the agreement on behalf of the company.

In addition to constructing the waste transfer station, MTCC will also install a drainage system and facilitate easy access to the island.
MTCC said an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) would be conducted to assess the potential environmental damage associated with the project before the project is implemented.
The project is expected to be completed within 140 days. The cost of the work is MVR 7.6 million.
