These Two Beaches in Mangalore Are in Race For Blue Flag Certification: Check Out

Last year, eight beaches across the country hoisted the international Blue Flags in virtual mode. This year the ministry of environment, forest and climate change may select only three beaches due to time constraints. Dr Dinesh Kumar Y K, DCF, and in-charge regional director environment said that Kasarkod Beach in Uttara Kannada and Padubidri Beach in Udupi have already been certified and now officials have decided to select a beach from Dakshina Kannada district. Currently, two beaches—a stretch near TannirBhavi and Iddya Beach—have been proposed by the state for Blue Flag certification. The district has an international airport and a large number of tourists visit here which is why it is important that the district has a Blue Flag beach. The detailed project report for both the beaches have been submitted.
