The Udupi district administration recently conducted a massive raid on illegal homestays and resorts in the area, resulting in the shutdown of 109 homestays and 21 resorts. The action was taken due to the non-compliance of these establishments with sewage treatment regulations.
The raid was conducted in accordance with the instructions of the Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka, which had directed the district administration to take strict action against establishments violating environmental norms.
The shutdown of these illegal accommodations is expected to have a significant impact on the local environment, as many of these establishments were releasing untreated sewage into the nearby water bodies. The district administration has assured that it will take all necessary steps to prevent such violations in the future.
