The Dhigurah Council has announced a call for bids to build a structure or monument symbolising tourism on GDh. Dhigurah, an inhabited island known for its tourism activities. According to the Council's announcement, a party is being sought to carry out the "construction of the monument" work in line with information provided by the Council. Parties wishing to participate in the bid must submit the bid registration form to the Council before 14:00 on the coming Monday. Ibrahim Usman 'Sun', President of the Dhigurah Council, said the monument being built on the island, together with the island's name, symbolises the tourism specific to Dhigurah. He said the aim is to inform every tourist who lands on the island, from its shore, what kind of island it is and what it is specially known for. Dhigurah is an island specific to tourism, with many points where tourists can easily see whale sharks, manta rays and dolphins. According to Ibrahim Usman, the monument is divided into two parts: a section built with masonry and a section made of fibreglass. The Council's announcement states that bids submitted by parties that do not register for the bid, and bids submitted after the deadline, will not be accepted. Parties wishing to carry out the work can purchase the bid registration form from the counter of the island's Council office for MVR 100.
