Tonka Kasarkod is a beautiful coastal village near Honnavar in Uttara Kannada district.
The special thing about our town is its location. To the west lies the Arabian Sea, and to the east flows the Sharavati River. The sea is our life. Every day fishermen go in boats and bring back fish. The beach in the evening is very beautiful.
In the middle of the Arabian Sea there is a beautiful hill. Its name is Netrani Hill. This hill is the pride of our village. Tourists and locals come to see this hill. Netrani Hill adds more beauty to our sea.
The main occupation of our village is fishing only. There is no agriculture here. Hundreds of families depend only on the fish from the sea for their livelihood but for the last few years we have been struggling a lot because of the HPPL company.
HPPL means Honnavar Port Private Limited Company. Because of this company’s projects, fishermen are facing problems to go to the sea. Our livelihood is coming to a dangerous situation.
