Mangaluru, Jul 8: After a long gap, sea erosion has returned to the seashore at Ullal and Someshwar Uchila areas on Sunday July 7. As the waves began to hit the seashore with brute force, huge boulders stacked as deterrent for the waves in the form of protective walls got swept into the depths of the sea. Over ten houses are facing danger from the sea erosion now.

The rainfall has been quite less in the region since sometime. Still strong winds are providing the thrust for the waves to surge ahead. A shop run by Chandappa has suffered damages. It is said that since work on temporary break water project began here, the problem has worsened. For a 200 metres stretch, the boulders of the protective wall have been siphoned off into the sea.

Waves have also been lashing at houses in Sea Ground, Killeria Nagar and Mukkacheri in Ullal.

The Arabiansea has swelled at Malpe beach. The sea has become turbulent and huge waves are hitting the shore. The waves had moved ahead till the net installed by the concerned to stop the tourists from approaching the sea. However, sea erosion has not been witnessed in the seashore.

    Authority is neglecting the issue. Residentials in Uchila are facing this problem since last long years. And they almost lost everything. Local authorities just throw some stones near beaches only after sea erosion starts. An able minister would have really done something great as this issue is going on since last 5 to 6 yeats. Without doing much now they are waiting for emergency, arranged for NDRF to welcome worst situation. Finally residentials are losers if they survive

    With 25% of the money spent over the years, tetrapods would have provide permanent solution. May be worthwhile to study old British technology used to build gate of India!

    Soil erosion is not at all a problem, its a natural phenomena...

    The real problem is that the people have encroached the sea side land which is not at all meant for habitat...

    relocate the people from that area permanently then there wont be need of money spending in building the wall to see.... Lets just think who we are to stop the sea from flowing...
