Kozhikode
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan will officially launch AZHAK (A mass initiative for Zero waste, enhancing Happiness index and Attitudinal change in waste management in Kozhikode), the hygiene protocol of the Kozhikode Corporation on April 2. The event will be held at Tagore Centenary Hall in the city at 4 p.m. on Saturday.
Mayor Beena Philip told reporters here on Wednesday that the corporation had been working on the project, with the slogan “Ezhazhakilekku en Kozhikode”, for the past 10 months, though the results were not tangible. A conceptual workshop titled “Hygiea” was held last year, following which a panel of five resource persons per ward had been selected. These resource persons were in charge of creating awareness in their respective wards regarding the hygiene protocol.
