The Udupi district administration has taken a significant step towards promoting environmental sustainability by shutting down 130 tourism units found to be violating sewage treatment norms. In a recent raid, officials identified 109 illegal homestays and 21 resorts that were not adhering to the required standards for waste management and sewage treatment.
The administration has been cracking down on tourism units that fail to meet environmental regulations, citing the need to protect the district's ecosystem and preserve its natural beauty.
