Drishti has urged locals and tourists to avoid swimming away from beaches in the state due to dangerous waves and sea conditions including high tides, as well as strong winds, making going into the sea risky .
The advisory comes after the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a severe weather warning predicting heavy rainfall and squall conditions in the coastal state.
The monsoon, which typically lasts from June to September, triggers increased rainfall, rough seas and unpredictable weather patterns, making water-oriented activities at the beach especially risky.
Due to the monsoon, adverse weather conditions and the threat of heavy rain and high waves, red flags have been installed on all beaches under the supervision of Drishti Marine to discourage beachgoers from swimming or entering the water.
“We have marked all beaches with red flags to signal that it is unsafe to swim. Even getting into the water is strictly prohibited. Our team of lifeguards deployed along the coast are alert to weather patterns and the sea Their effectiveness is being closely monitored. They have been trained to carry out rescue operations even in adverse conditions,” said Naveen Awasthi, CEO of Drishti Marine.
Drishti has also urged visitors to avoid rocky areas, cliffs and hills along the coastline. It said, "During the monsoon season, these places become particularly dangerous due to their slippery surfaces. The height, intensity and frequency of waves in the sea also increase, posing a risk to beachgoers." The risk of being washed away increases significantly in turbulent waters."
