VELI: Untreated industrial effluent is causing heavy damage to marine ecosystem in the coastal Kerala, say researchers.

A city-based NGO into marine life protection has warned that the cyclone Ockhi will have a larger impact on beaches along the coast of Thiruvananthapuram district, including Valiyathura, Shangumukham and Veli, as the cyclone has totally jeopardized coastal sediment process, which helps the beaches retain its original form after suffering huge erosion during Monsoon.

Traffic restrictions would be in place in the city on Friday and Saturday in view of the visit of Union home minister Amit Shah and the chief ministers of various other states. Parking will not be allowed on roads from Shanghumugham till Chacka and from Chacka till Kovalam beach.

A mass beach cleaning drive was conducted along the coastal belt in the district on the occasion of World Ocean Day on Saturday.
