Malé, Maldives – Malé City Mayor Dr Mohamed Muizzu said that a facility specialised for cats will soon be built in Malé City to bring a solution to the cat problem currently faced in Malé.
Speaking at the Malé City Council press conference, Mayor Muizzu said that discussions are underway with the relevant authorities in order to find a permanent solution to the cat problem faced in Malé at present.
