Due to this, it has become nearly impossible to construct a sea-wall along the coast in Thenka village to check sea-erosion.
House and storage shed of one Mr Vishwanath Kotian are facing threat of being washed away by the turbulent sea. Traffic has been obstructed on the road connecting Thenka and Thottam.
Movement of vehicles restricted
If a sea-wall has to be constructed out of stones at Babbarya-Kombu, the fisheries road that has been eroded by the sea has to be rebuilt. Taking up repair work has been impossible till Thursday because of the prevailing weather condition.
In Thenka grama, the huge boulders that have been placed beside the houses of Lingappa Putran, Sundar Suvarna and Susheela Karkera near Thenka Vanitashram junction, have been swept away by the sea.
Even the fisheries road at Madhvanagar in Padubidri has been eroded by the sea waves.
Obstruction of construction work
In places along the coast where sea-erosion has increased, efforts are being made to set-up a temporary sea-wall, with boulders being set on the sea shore. As per the circular issued by the department, the construction work done is being photographed.
A few locals have objected to the construction of the sea-wall due to trivial reasons. The contractor deployed for the construction said that the operation had to be carried out bearing all the problems hindering them.
As a result, a few police personnel have been stationed at the spot to maintain law and order.
Houses damaged in Ullal
Massive waves have also ravaged the coast of Ullal and Uchila in Someshwar, resulting in the damage of several houses on the shore.
Several houses in Mukkacheri, Sea-ground, Kaiko, Qiliriyanagar, Kotepura and Mogaveerpatna in Ullal and Someshwar have suffered damage, including a guest house.
Two houses have crumbled in Mukkacheri under the continuous wrath of waves, and four others are in the danger of crumbling. Over eight houses face the same danger in Mogaveerpatna.
