| 2 More Indian Beaches Get Coveted Blue Flag Certification: Environment Minister | | | agencies
NEW DELHI, Oct 26: Two more Indian beaches have made it to the list of the cleanest beaches in the world, Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav said today.
"Proud moment! Two more Indian beaches have made it to the list of Blue Beaches. Minicoy, Thundi Beach and Kadmat Beach - both in Lakshadweep - are the proud entrants in the coveted list of Blue Beaches, an eco-label given to the cleanest beaches in the world," Yadav tweeted.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi also expressed delight at two more Indian beaches being certified as 'blue beaches'.
"This is great! Congratulations, particularly to the people of Lakshadweep, for this feat. India's coastline is remarkable and there is also a great amount of passion among our people to further coastal cleanliness," he tweeted.
PM Modi was reacting to Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav's post sharing the development.
This has taken India's tally of Blue Beaches to 12.
"This is part of India's relentless journey towards building a sustainable environment led by PM Shri Narendra Modi ji," he tweeted. While the Thundi Beach is one of the most pristine and picturesque beaches in the Lakshadweep archipelago where white sand is lined by turquoise blue water of the lagoon, Kadmat Beach is especially popular with cruise tourists who visit the island for water sports. |
