For over 40 years, sewage and toxic waste from Bankimuhan have been flowing directly into the sea at Puri beach, turning the golden sands black. Tourists are reporting skin irritation and swelling after coming into contact with the polluted water. The area is littered with plastic, garbage, and animal carcasses despite 'Green Puri Clean Puri' initiatives. Additionally, the secluded spots are becoming hubs for drug addicts and illegal activities, causing significant concern for visitors and locals alike. https://odishatazanews.com/?p=204406 #creator program
