Under the Supervision of Kaup Educational Institutions Correspondent K.P. Acharya, more than 500 Students, Teachers and Members of Rotary Club cleaned the beach from morning to noon and became an example. Kaup beach which is a popular tourist spot, gets more and more tourists visiting day by day and the garbage dumping also increases. Plastic bottles, bags, polythene packs and such items about one load garbage was collected on Monday and disposed. Though the beach cleaning work of the beautiful Kaup beach is supposed to be regularly done by the Kaup Panchayath, unfortunately  that is not happening and the beach gets filled with garbage.
