The Udupi district administration conducted a massive raid on illegal homestays and resorts in the region, shutting down 130 establishments for violating sewage treatment norms. The raid was a follow-up to a directive issued by the state government to ensure compliance with environmental regulations.
The action was taken as part of the district administration's efforts to maintain the region's environmental integrity and prevent pollution of water bodies. The raid was conducted in collaboration with local authorities and environmental agencies.
The shutdown of these establishments is expected to have a significant impact on the local tourism industry, which relies heavily on these accommodations.
