Udupi, Jul 14: A concrete road belonging to the Fisheries Department has been damaged due to the fresh sea erosion amidst heavy rains at Kankoda area near Padukere in Udupi district.

The region is a peninsular with the Arabian Sea on the West and the Udyavara rivulet on the East. The concrete road running along the coast connects Malpe and Padukere with the Katapady and Mutt villages.

Sea erosion occurs here almost every here. The most affected area due to sea erosion is near the Pandarinath Bhajana Mandira.

Meanwhile, a few cracks had developed on the slope protection wall built to protect the hillock at Othinene in Byndoor taluk. The soil on the hillock is loose. Hence the slope protection wall was built to prevent any soil from falling on the National Highway 66.

“The personnel of the IRB company, which is implementing the highway widening work, have been placing sand bags to prevent any further slippage of soil at the slope protection wall. It has not affected the movement of vehicles on the highway. But the problem may become serious if there are severe rains. We have given instructions to the IRB company to take protection measures,” Kiran Gurayya, Byndoor Tahsildar, said.
