Residents of eight houses shifted: Here is the reason

June 13: Ullal and Uchchila – Someshwara residents are facing a threat as the sea is getting fiercer. Residents of eight houses have been shifted to safer locations.
Three houses – belonging to Maimuna, Iqbal and Zohara – at Kaiko, Kiliriyanagara, were completely damaged on Tuesday night. The sea wall constructed at Mukkacheri in the last week of May is unscientific. Rough waves have already taken a toll on the sea wall. The toilet building of a resort and sheds constructed at Uchchila Kote were partially washed away by the intensity of the sea.
A relief camp has been opened by the Ullal City Municipal Council at the Community Hall in Ullal the families are not ready to shift to the relief camp but the families fear lack of privacy for women and proper toilet facilities and therefore they have instead moved to their relatives’ houses.
A total of 24 Home Guards have been deployed in the areas affected by sea erosion from Wednesday. Three each will be deployed at eight locations on the stretch from Ullal to Uchchila – Someshwara. The Home Guards will ensure that no one will venture into the sea.
