The state government is facing an uphill task to select ten beaches for the Blue Flag certification within a week’s time.
On September 11, the Union ministry for environment, forest and climate change asked 13 coastal states to identify and prioritise on at least ten more beaches in their respective territories.
The coastal states must inform the Union ministry by September 30 so as to facilitate drawing up of a concrete roadmap for the programme.
Preliminary assessment of the selected beaches for suitability will be carried out on November 30.
