Earlier in 2020, Puri’s golden beach bagged the coveted certification from FEE.
The State government is also making efforts to develop Haripur in Ganjam district, and Muhan, Niladri, and Jahania in Puri district to international standards for the coveted certification.
The amenities available at Blue Flag beaches will include seating arrangements, toilets, watch towers, and a solar lighting system.
