Members say CRZ rules are being flouted
Udupi City Municipal Council in its meeting on Wednesday resolved to recommend the Udupi Deputy Commissioner to wind up the Malpe Beach Development Committee. The council took the decision after some members said that rules pertaining to the coastal regulatory zone (CRZ) are being flouted in the guise of development of the beach. In addition, when the beach is under the jurisdiction of the city municipality, there is no need for a committee to oversee its development. Leader of the Opposition in the council Ramesh Kanchan from the Congress, who raised the matter, said that a restaurant is being built on the beach by flouting rules which stipulate that there should be no new permanent structure.
On December 23, the newly elected office bearers of the Anna Nagar Towers Club, led by its president ‘Purasai’ B. Ranganathan, who is a former MLA, met with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. K.
