Committed to PEOPLE'S RIGHT TO KNOW Vol. 4 Num 185 Tue. December 02, 2003       National Bay devours scenic Kuakata Kuakata under nature's wrath: The Bay of Bengal is devouring areas in enchanting Kuakata sea beach where tourists throng from home and abroad. Dumping of sand bags shown in the pictures (left) has proved futile to protect landmasses on the shoreline, while greens (right) along the beach are disappearing due to erosion and rise in the eater level. Short and long term steps should be taken immediately to protect the beach. PHOTO: STAR
