Raging waves swallow massive sand and rock walls; Batpady under threat again
The Hindu
Area near Kerala border had remained cut off for almost eight months after the connecting road was washed away
Residents of Batpady to the south of Mangaluru on the Karnataka-Kerala border are again worried over being cut off from the main land as the raging waves of the Arabian Sea have been swallowing sand and boulder walls erected to prevent sea erosion. With crores of rupees spent on erection of these walls wasted, a portion of the rebuilt road has also come under threat of getting eroded this monsoon. The same stretch was completely damaged last monsoon too and the residents had to wait till February this year for the road to be temporarily restored.More Related News
