Dhiraagu has also enabled free calls to Sri Lanka as the neighbouring country, where many Maldivians reside grapples with severe weather conditions.
Dhiraagu said the move is aimed at helping customers stay in touch with their loved ones during this challenging.
Dhiraagu customers can dial *225# to activate 30 minutes of free calls to Sri Lanka which remain valid for one week from the date of activation. The add-on will be available until November 29th.
Sri Lanka began grappling with severe weather last week, and the conditions worsened on Thursday with heavy downpours that flooded homes, fields and roads, and triggered landslides as Cyclone Ditwah swept across the country. Most reservoirs and rivers have overflowed, blocking roads. Authorities stopped passenger trains and closed roads in many parts of the country after rocks, mud and trees fell on roads and railway tracks, which were also flooded in some areas. Flights bound for Sri Lanka have also been diverted to India.
The death toll from floods and landslides has risen to 56, and at least 49 people remain missing. As the weather conditions grew worse, the government announced the closing of all government offices and schools on Friday.
