Barricades put in Hulhudhoo Office and Court

One of the two entrances of Hulhudhoo Office and main entrance gate of Hulhudhoo Court were deliberately locked up this morning with two double locking brass padlocks by some unknown personals. The timing and its purpose behind locking these two entrances are yet to be uncovered. According to an eyewitness, the security guard at Hulhudhoo court had jump over the wall to raise the national flag at 6:00 am in the morning. He added, “Court staffs also had to wait on the street for almost half an hour”.
This is the very first time such a wicked attempt had become target of these governmental authorities in times of our memory. However, on several incidents people had purposely attacked these places for vague reasons. Personal hatred and local uprising against state were the causes leading to such vandalism in the past. Locking the doors with padlocks might have been adopted from the recent closure of some of the island offices in the north of the country.
We strongly denounce these kind of irrational behaviors by our people and urge the people to stay side by side with the government. Damaging these properties or barricading the entrances would have incurred huge costs to service seekers and providers, had the padlocks not destroyed duly. We all have a duty of care to public properties; therefore protecting them is everyone’s responsibility.
