Experts to take part in a seminar to discuss project draft
The Hygiene Protocol of the Kozhikode Corporation, one of the key projects of the new council, will soon be a reality. Health standing committee chairperson S. Jayasree said the protocol would be in effect by the end of the month. The expert committee consisting of several former officials, environmentalists, and representatives of non-governmental organisations had prepared a draft of the project just a month after it was announced. “But we could not do anything about it as it was the time the second wave of COVID-19 hit and the whole health wing was busy dealing with it,” said Ms. Jayasree. The draft was recently approved by the health standing committee. A seminar will be held by the second week of August to facilitate a discussion on the draft by experts from various fields. The suggestions made by the experts will be incorporated into the draft with the help of the committee that prepared it before it is tabled in the Corporation Council.More Related News
