Udupi Shuts 130 Unlicensed Accommodations Over Sewage Treatment Violations
By ETF Desk
The Udupi district administration has taken a significant step towards maintaining environmental standards in the region by shutting down 130 unlicensed homestays and resorts. In a massive raid conducted recently, the authorities found that these establishments were violating sewage treatment norms, posing a significant threat to the environment.
According to sources, the raid was a result of a long-standing issue of unregulated growth of homestays and resorts in the district. Many of these establishments were found to be operating without necessary permits, leading to a significant increase in pollution levels in the area.
The shutdown of these establishments is expected to have a significant impact on the environment, as it will help reduce the amount of untreated sewage being released into the water bodies. The district administration has also assured that it will take strict action against any establishment found to be violating environmental norms in the future.
