Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has rejected plans to develop a resort at the uninhabited island of G. A. Odegalla.
Odegalla was leased for resort development to well-known local businessman and owner of Hotels and Resorts Construction (HRC), Mohamed Ali Janah during former President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom’s administration.
The environmental impact assessment done on Odegalla had concluded that developing a resort at the island may cause irrevocable environmental damage to the island.
