Udupi cracks down on illegal homestays and resorts, shuts 109 and 21 respectively
By ETF Desk
Udupi District Administration, in a significant crackdown, raided numerous illegal homestays and resorts in the region, leading to the shutdown of 109 homestays and 21 resorts. The primary reason for this action was the non-compliance of these establishments with sewage treatment regulations, sparking environmental concerns.
The raid, aimed at addressing these concerns, also aimed to ensure adherence to local laws and regulations. Local authorities have been working to monitor and regulate the growth of these establishments, which have been mushrooming in the region, often without proper permits or adherence to environmental norms.
The shutdown of these illegal homestays and resorts is expected to have a significant impact on the local economy, particularly for those who have invested in these ventures. However, the move is seen as a necessary step towards ensuring environmental sustainability and compliance with local regulations.
