On the weekend, local volunteer organisations teamed up with college students to launch a large‑scale awareness walk along Mangalore's shoreline, targeting the removal of plastic waste and other litter.
The event, part of a "Clean Beach" campaign, aimed to enhance the visual appeal of the coastal tourism zone and raise public consciousness about marine debris. Participants collected plastic bottles, bags and assorted waste, covering several kilometres of the beach.
Organisers said the clean‑up will help preserve the natural beauty that draws tourists and support sustainable tourism in the region, urging residents and visitors to keep the beach clean and avoid littering.
