This highlights the ongoing tension between rapid urban development and the protection of ecologically sensitive coastal zones and traditional livelihoods.
Coastal People’s Right to Life Movement (CPRM), an organisation for coastal communities, has urged the Puducherry government and the National Centre for Sustainable Coastal Management (NCSCM) to protect the 6.11-km coastal stretch affected by the Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP) and cancel all real estate projects permitted in the no-development zone.
