Sea erosion in Ullal, especially at Battampady, Someshwara, and other areas, continues to be an unending woe for fishermen and others living on the coast. With the region receiving rain continuously, massive waves have been hitting the shore, causing panic among residents at Someshwara, Battampady, and nearby areas. A road at Battampady, which was partially damaged due to sea erosion in 2021, has been damaged completely, during the rain in the past few days. Several trees along the shore in the area, were uprooted.<\/p>\n
Roopesh Uchil, a resident, said that several houses in and around Battampady, are facing the threat of sea erosion. \u201cMore than 10 families on the coast in Battampady, are living in fear of the rough sea damaging their houses. Massive waves have hit the shore, and those houses are just two meters away from the sea. Meanwhile, a road in the area has also been damaged completely, due to the rough sea. Minister Angara has been taking initiatives to find solutions to the issue,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Mangaluru MLA U T Khader said that the issue of sea erosion in Ullal was brought to the notice of the ports minister. \u201cI presented the problems people are facing in the coastal areas, in a meeting of officials held recently. The government has neither reserved sufficient funds for measures against sea erosion, nor made payments for several works. It is the responsibility of the government to take immediate measures to prevent sea erosion,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Minister of fisheries, ports, and inland water transport, S Angara, recently visited the coastal areas, and planned to adopt the Kerala model of sea erosion prevention, to solve the problem. Angara said, \u201cWe have prepared a detailed project report to implement, based on the sea erosion prevention method adopted in Nellikkunnu at Kasaragod. I will meet chief minister Basavaraj Bommai on Wednesday, and discuss about the project, which will be implemented at identified locations, where the impact of sea erosion is more.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[178],"tags":[],"region":[],"source":[228],"country":[9136],"state":[],"city":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newss\/95766"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newss"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/newss"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newss\/95766\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":95767,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newss\/95766\/revisions\/95767"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=95766"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=95766"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=95766"},{"taxonomy":"region","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/region?post=95766"},{"taxonomy":"source","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/source?post=95766"},{"taxonomy":"country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/country?post=95766"},{"taxonomy":"state","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/state?post=95766"},{"taxonomy":"city","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/city?post=95766"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
