They had come to Male’ City after undergoing 14-days of quarantine at AA. Bodufulhudhoo when their agent had informed them that their flight was scheduled for today.

While they had arrived in Male’ City yesterday under the impression that their flight was scheduled for today – the group was forced to wait at the ferry terminal for about seven hours as travel arrangements had not been confirmed in the first place. Following this, they were taken to stay the night at a guesthouse – but as travel arrangements were not confirmed for today as well – they had been forced out on the streets.

The tourist further detailed that each of them had paid around MVR 70,000 to the agent based in their home country and the one based in the Maldives – to come to the Maldives.

As they remain stranded on the roads – the Police had gone to the scene to investigate the matter.
