Panambur Beach in dire need of maintenance

The serene Panambur Beach, one of the major tourist attractions around Mangaluru, now beckons ploggers and volunteers as it remains in a state of neglect with trash accumulated all over the two kilometres stretch. With very few socialising places available around Mangaluru, Panambur Beach, right across National Highway 66 and abutting the New Mangaore Port, has been one of the easily accessible locations for denizens as well as tourists. Panambur Beach Development Project maintained the beach for nearly 12 years without any government funding before it was asked by the Tourism Department to hand over maintenance in October last.
