Joining Hulhudhoo and Meedhoo as one island and joining Maradhoo and Maradhoo-Feydhoo as one island

After Male, S.Hithadhoo is the most populous island in the country. There are four administrative islands in the Addu Atoll that could be joined to create two administrative units, whereby making the resulting two islands the sixth and seventh most populous islands in the country.
These four administrative units are Hulhudhoo and Meedhoo and Maradhoo and Maradhoo-Feydhoo.
The current population of Hulhudhoo is 3,307 and that of Meedhoo is 2,464. The current population of Maradhoo is 3,318 and that of Maradhoo-Feydhoo is 1,531. If we join Hulhudhoo and Meedhoo to create one administrative unit -which could be named as Hulhumeedhoo - the population of Hulhumeedhoo would be 5,771.

Similarly, the current population of Maradhoo is 3,318 and that of Maradhoo-Feydhoo is 1,531. If we join Maradhoo and Maradhoo-Feydhoo to create one administrative unit -which could be named as Maradhoo-Feydhoo; the population of the new island would be 4,849.
If these changes are brought about we could save administrative costs because instead of four island offices we would then have two island offices. This would immensely reduce administrative costs and bureaucratic costs. By implementing these changes, Hulhumeedhoo would become the sixth most populous island and Maradhoo-Feydhoo would become the seventh most populous island in the country.
We should forget about one-island mentality. We should say “no” to Gayyoom’s 30-year-old divide-and-rule autocracy. We should think of the best way to develop the island and the atoll and the region. The “government bureaucracy” should become small and the capitalist activities should increase with a solid social services network.
In a previous article I wrote about joining some of our atolls into their natural boundaries. http://clubescapemaldives.blogspot.com/2008/03/having-15-atolls-instead-of-20-atolls.html
Naturally Huvadhoo Atoll is one atoll but for administrative purposes we have made it into two atolls. The same is true fro Haa Atoll and Alif Atoll. By doing this we could reduce the number of atolls in the country to 15.
This would let us save millions of Rufiyaa in recurrent costs – whereby we would have 15 Atoll Offices and 15 Atoll Chiefs instead of 20 Atoll Offices and 20 Atoll Chiefs. This would also cut bureaucracy – and even more importantly this would unite the peoples of Haa Atoll and Alifu Atoll and Huvadhoo Atoll.
Just as we can unite Hulhudhoo and Meedhoo and Maradhoo-Feydhoo in Addu Atoll, there would be many islands in other atolls that could be united in this way to help development.
If we can bring about the unification of some atolls and islands in this manner, we would be able to immensely reduce bureaucratic costs and help boost our economy at a tremendous rate.
