Henveiru Noofaru, currently a vacant land plot acquired by President Abdullah Yameen is currently the result of sending mild tremors across the neighborhood residences.
The 2,900 square feet land which stands vacant as of now, currently has labors and building machinery on sight - with sheet-piling work underway, which has been the reason for the tremors. The plot is situated at the east end of Boduthakurufaanu Magu which overlooks the surfers' point as well as the China-Maldives Friendship Bridge.
President Yameen had acquired a parchment of 40 feet land next to Noofaru as well. President Abdullah Yameen had interchanged lands - his then residence Galolhu Dhoovehi was swapped to Noofaru.
Court had ruled the transaction legal. The names of the residences have been officially exchanged as well.
Conventionally buildings constructed in the capital do not undergo sheet-piling, though few exceptions are there. Sheet-piling is normally done for buildings that will have a higher elevation and floor count than the usually built buildings.
Some of the previous sheet-piling procedures had cataclysmic outcomes like strong tremors and unstable ground levels. Few residences received cracks across the vicinity during such incidents. Although President Yameen's new residence is undergoing sheet-piling, no complaints over significant damage or difficulties have been lodged so far.
With his previous residence, Dhoovehi exchanged President Yameen along with his family currently resides at Hilaaleege - which is usually assigned to Vice Presidents.
