While many houses were damaged due to sea erosion in Ullal, a family from Kaico on the coast has been shifted due to rough seas. Minister for food, civil supplies and consumer affairs U T Khader, who is also the MLA of Mangaluru constituency, visited various places on Ullal coast on Saturday. He said that since the sea is rough several houses on Ullal coast face threat. “Officials of the port and fisheries department have been visiting spots where people face the brunt of rough sea. Waves are rough at Hillary Nagar, Someshwar and Uchil. Officials have identified various spots on Ullal coast where possibilities of natural calamity are more,” he said adding that the district administration has been asked to take necessary measures relocate families and to compensate them. Deputy commissioner K G Jagadeesha will submit a detailed report to the government on losses due to sea erosion on Ullal coast. While revenue department will assess the loss, port and fisheries department will be monitoring the region to prevent damages and to help families, Khader said adding that the government will release funds to compensate families. He said that the government has plans to lay offshore berms at three more places to prevent sea erosion. A meeting will be held soon to finalise decisions, he added.
