The Udupi district administration has taken a significant step in curbing the menace of illegal tourist establishments in the region. The authorities conducted a raid on establishments violating sewage treatment norms, resulting in the shutdown of 130 illegal homestays and resorts.
The raid, which was carried out in collaboration with the Udupi City Municipal Council, aimed to check the sewage treatment facilities of the establishments. The authorities found that many of the illegal homestays and resorts were releasing untreated sewage into the environment, posing a significant threat to the health and well-being of the local residents and tourists.
The shutdown of these establishments is expected to have a significant impact on the local economy, particularly for the families who rely on these establishments for their livelihood.
