Udupi DC Calls for Enhanced Safety Measures for Tourists
By ETF Desk
Udupi District Commissioner S. K. Rao announced a push to prioritise tourist safety in the district, citing a recent uptick in visitors and reports of minor incidents.
The coastal town of Udupi, a popular destination for both domestic and international tourists, has seen visitor numbers rise sharply over the past few years. Previous reports of petty theft, traffic accidents, and occasional disturbances have raised concerns among local businesses and aid groups, prompting the DC to call for coordinated measures across police, tourism and municipal departments.
By elevating security protocols – including increased patrols, clearer signage, and dedicated emergency response units – the district aims to safeguard tourists and bolster the region's reputation as a secure destination, potentially boosting local businesses and the wider tourism economy.
