Fahi Dhirulhun Corporation Limited (FDC) has signed flat agreements with over 1,000 recipients of the first 4,000 flats built under former MDP administration’s ‘Gedhoruveriya’ housing scheme 
FDC, on Friday, described the signing of the agreement with over 1,000 recipients as a significant milestone.
The Corporation began to sign agreements with the recipients on July 21st.
The process is carried out from 09:00 am to 04:00 from desks set up at the Hulhumale’ Synthetic Track.
According to FDC, recipients will have appointments scheduled and notifications sent via the corporation’s Fahi Portal.
The Corporation aid the signings are being carried out first for the flats in the towers that are already done and ready for handover.
The corporation added that the flats will be handed over after completing finishing work, including the installation of doors, windows, fans and bathroom fixtures, as well as tiling and wall painting.
Speaking to reporters on June 29, Housing Minister Dr. Abdulla Muthalib said that work is complete in 1,000 out of 4,000 flats. He expects the handover of all flats to be done by the end of September.
The list of recipients of the flats, which was released during the last days of the MDP administration, was the subject of an investigation by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). The corruption watchdog ordered for the suspension of the issuance of flats, before finally giving the Housing Ministry the go-ahead to proceed in February 2024.
The incumbent administration released a new list of recipients after a verification process that lasted a year in February. But following public backlash over high number of disqualifications, Muthalib said the flats would be issued based on the original list.
