In a heartbreaking incident, a 14-year-old boy in the #Maldives lost his life as President #Muizzu allegedly denied approval for an Indian #helicopter airlift, meant to transport the teenager suffering from a brain tumor to the capital for urgent medical treatment. The family accused authorities of a 16-hour delay in arranging the medical evacuation, leading to the tragic outcome. #Maldives Minister #Mikel Nasim held President #Muizzu responsible, condemning the situation where lives are affected by political tensions. The incident has not only sparked protests but also brought attention to strained diplomatic relations between India and the Maldives, exacerbated by the president's call for the withdrawal of #Indian troops by March 15. Ongoing talks aim to resolve the complex situation amid public outcry and grief over the young boy's untimely demise.
