In a novel initiative, overall charge of the coastal hotspot’s security – hitherto split into separate jurisdictions between a number of government bodies – will be consolidated in the hands of a ‘Destination Manager’. The position will become the designated authority to handle matters of day-to-day operational security. Furthermore, the entire resort area will be blanketed 24x7 by a security system that incorporates a CCTV surveillance network. As well, discrete fencing would be put up around popular viewpoints such as the Edakkal rocks to ensure tourist safety without becoming an eyesore.Please log in to get detailed story.Tags: #Kovalam to undergo makeover before tourist influx
