The renovation notably addressed significant wear and deterioration, including corroded sections of the monument itself, as well as damage to various parts of the surrounding park area.

Last year, December 26 marked the 21^st anniversary of the Great Tsunami of 2004. The monument which was built in memory of the victims of the disaster and as a reminder of the unity showcased by Maldivians that day, was first placed at Lonuziyaaraikolhu area.

For the construction of the Sinamale’ Bridge during former president, the monument was moved near Vilimale’ Ferry Terminal, where it is now.
