Mangalore’s Tannirbhavi Beach Will Soon Be Declared As India’s 13th Blue Flag Beach

Have you visited beaches in Karnataka, especially Mangalore? Well, add them right now to your travel list! You surely do not want to miss them. Speaking of the beaches here, let me bring some good news. The 13th Blue Flag beach in India, Tannirbhavi Beach, is being quickly developed on the city’s outskirts. An application will be sent soon for tagging the beach as a blue flag beach after the project is completed.

The project-related work is being completed by Pune-based BVG India Limited at a cost of Rs 7.56 crore. The large Pine and Acacia trees, as well as the shade they offer, will draw tourists. This beach also has additional attractions like varied facilities and brand-new temporary structures.

To handle all the trash that is produced on the one mile long beach, a waste processing facility has been constructed. The garbage will be separated using this device. While wet trash is turned into compost and used as manure for plants and trees, dry waste will be delivered to the Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC).

To handle toilet waste, a grey water treatment plant is being built. Men and women will have separate bathrooms and shower facilities. The beach will have a kilometre-long wood-polymer-composed path built across it. Walking here will give the impression that you are crossing a wooden bridge.

An office, a first aid station, a control room for the CCTV system, five CC cameras, a water fountain, and five umbrellas with chairs will also be installed. 

On the Tannirbhavi beach, there is a 400-metre swimming zone. To guard the visitors, two watchtowers have been constructed. Additional amenities include a 40-kW solar power generation plant, 20 trash cans, and LED lighting around the park and on the beach road. 

To protect the lives of guests, plans are also made for rescue boats, life jackets, and sea-buoy ropes. Ten locals have already been hired for housekeeping, as well as two security officers, a supervisor, and a manager.

All improvements will be finished by the end of July, at which point an application to certify the beach as a Blue Flag beach will be sent. The initial inspection was performed by the Blue Flag controller. National and international judges will conduct the last inspection. (As per Daijiworld.com)
