Kundapur, Sep 21: A few days ago, a dead whale washed ashore at Trasi-Maravanthe beach near national highway 66.

Though foul smell is emitting from the decomposed fish, the department of tourism nor the department of fisheries seems to be bothered. Visitors on the national highway and the tourists to the beach have expressed rage over official apathy.

The whale weighing 500 kg got washed to the sea shore of Trasi-Maravanthe on Tuesday late night. On Wednesday, foul smell was emitting from the fish. There is a garden which belongs to Tourism department nearby.

Several tourists are arriving to the beach. Travellers on the national highway are unhappy as the department concerned has failed to dispose the decomposed whale.

There is a demand from the public that the concerned department should come forward to clear the decomposed whale.

    responsibility to dispose of the fish is on the local body (panchayat / municipality)…if dogs eat the rotten body, there might be rabies outbreak....

    It's a dolphin. Not whale. Also, it's an aquatic mammal, not a fish.
