I dont understand why Indian and Pakistani doctors are coming to Maldives to work .This is not a place to work.This place is not safe at all .These days the problem of drug addicts is getting worse day by day, particularly in the capital and some southern islands .This drug problem has become a noticeble factor in most of the islands of Maldives.Your life is not safe at all.The local police also does not take any actions against these culprits.Doctors are most vulnerable. The working conditions of doctors under Ministry Of health is really pathetic .They are being exploited and harrassed by hospital administrations in the name of shortage of funds.They are being denied their over time ,though it is permissible as per their contract.For hospital adminstration the contract does not carry any meaning.The new commers suffer the most .They will be denied basic aminities .They will be harrassed like anything.If they raise their voice they will be humiliated and rebuked very badly .The poor doctor cant do anything as his passport is in the custody of ministry of health.I have seen some doctors going to brink of mental breakdown due to harrassing attitude of the hospital administration.I dont know whether the Ministry of health is aware of this problem or not.The most disturbing part is that these poor doctors get trapped by their agents in India and Pakistan who give a very rosy picture of this country, as they get heavy cut once the doctor lands at Male.I have been informed by someof the new commers[newly joined doctors] that even those doctors who are already working here misleads these new commers so that their exit from this country become easy. Its a well known fact that ministry does not leave a doctor unless it get a fresh recruit to replace him. Its my suggestion dont get trapped here for Rs 80000-90000 you work anywhere but dont come to this country, it is a hell.

Artificial beach is targeted area by pick pocketers and robbers. Surprising in the evening, this is the area which is having less light…. There should be more light on the roads and the garden areas.

Today we met the First Secretary of the Indian High commissioner of India and submitted a request to take up this matter with the Government of Maldives. We had a detailed discussion on this issue and were assured that they will be taking up this issue with the Maldives Police and the Home Ministry. According to him, such kind of problems are very common.
But to be frank, I understand that this problem is not something which can be solved overnight. The culprit taken by the police was left free for that reason that he was a person with mental problems. If he has mental problems, he should not be left free like this. He should be be given proper treatment and somebody to take the responsibility for such incidents.
