Adopt beaches to keep them clean: Coastal Security Police offers people
Udupi: Organizations and institutions who wish to contribute to cleanliness of beaches may now do so by adopting beaches with the help of the Coastal Security Police.
Coastal Security Police, who made the offer to the people, has added that the interested party would have to agree to work at maintaining hygiene of a beach for a minimal period of time. The people and organizations of the cities and towns near a beach may also contribute to the work.
The Coastal Security Police has a total of nine stations in the three coastal districts of Karnataka – five in Uttara Kannada, three in Udupi and one in Dakshina Kannada – and is working on cleaning up the 324 km-long coastline of the state.
The Coastal Security Police said that the beach maintenance programme was launched to spread awareness among the people about marine pollution and about the disposal of waste by visitors to beaches. The fish eat up a huge quantity of the plastic that is thrown on the beaches and reaches the depths of the sea. People who consume such fish face several health issues, as a result.
Abdul Ahad, superintendent of the Coastal Security Police, said, “There is a special focus on making the beaches polythene-free. The project, which was started in August this year, was continued every month by the government departments and various organizations.”
The project is entering its last phase this month. Various programmes are being organized between December 27 and 31 as a part of the valediction of the project. The cleanliness work will go on from 7 am to 10 am for four days, starting December 27.
On December 31, various events will be held from dawn to midnight. The Coastal Security Police is hosting art and cultural activities, including sand art, on the beach.
Ahad said that the onus is on the people to voluntarily maintain the hygiene of the beaches.
