Muizzu announced that an allowance would now be provided to the families of the martyrs under a specific policy to be gazetted, ensuring it is delivered in a sustainable manner. The policy will include support for five individuals awarded the November 3rd Medal of Exceptional Bravery and ten individuals who received the Medal for Bravery.

Additionally, Muizzu shared plans for a 50-unit housing complex, named ‘Shaheedhunge Hiyaa’, dedicated to the families of the martyrs. He assured that the housing complex would be developed and handed over to the families within the current term.
