Nearly a hundred volunteers gathered at the famous Kodi Beach off Kundapur on Sunday to commemorate the 75th Independence Day in a unique way — by planting saplings of trees and shrubs and taking up beach cleaning. Several organisations and NGOs, including FSL India, Lions Club, Clean Kundapura Campaign, Reef Watch, Kundapur Municipal Council, Swatch Bharat Karkala, Rail Prayanikara Hitarakshana Samithi, Forest Department, Coastal Regulation Zone Management Authority, and others joined hands in this initiative that was aimed at protecting the beachfront from sea erosion. Divisional Conservator of Forests, Kundapur Division, Ashish Reddy led the sapling plantation drive near the Light House that had witnessed sea erosion recently. Dinesh Sarang from FSL India told The Hindu that a Miyawaki forest is being planned on nearly an acre of beachfront at the particular location to arrest further sea erosion.More Related News
