June 14: Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel visited the coastal erosion-affected areas of Ucchila, Someshwara, Bhattampady and Ullal on Thursday, June 13.
He said that a meeting would be convened to discuss ways to expedite a permanent solution as part of the Asian Development Bank-funded Sustainable Coastal Protection and Management Project on Friday. He mentioned that the families affected by the sea erosion should be provided with compensation immediately.
The Central government had sanctioned grants under the Sustainable Coastal Protection and Management Project to find permanent solutions to sea erosion, he added.
He even said that as there is no technical guidance, problems continue in affected areas and coast erosion was increasing each year.
