The distribution in Malé began on 20 February, with five initial centres set up across Malé, Hulhumalé, and Vilimalé. However, due to long queues and public inconvenience, additional distribution centres were introduced, along with a token system to manage the issuance process.
This year, each household is receiving a case containing 48 cans of tuna as a Ramadan gift. The cases are distributed following verification of electricity meter numbers.
