Minister for Fisheries and Ports S. Angara says rules and regulations have to be flexible for developing tourist destinations
Dakshina Kannada district in-charge Minister S. Angara said despite the district having many places of tourist importance, the same are yet to be exploited to the fullest extent. The Minister for Fisheries and Ports inaugurated World Tourism Day celebrations organised by the district administration in Mangaluru on September 27.
Some places would naturally attract people while some places have to be developed to attract tourists. Dakshina Kannada is endowed with hundreds of places of tourist interest, and they have to be developed, he said.
Bengaluru saw one of its worst water crises in 2024 with ground water drying up and several parts of the city scrambling for water. With instances like BWSSB supplying treated wastewater to the construction industry, apartments being permitted to sell water from their STPs to the department, and lakes in parts of Bengaluru and neighbouring districts being filled with water from the 33 STP plants in the city, recycling of water became an important topic of conversation during this period.
