Kozhikode Corporation awaits CWRDM report to conduct carbon audit

The Kozhikode Corporation is awaiting a detailed project report (DPR) from the Centre for Water Resources Development and Management (CWRDM) to proceed with its plan to conduct a carbon audit of the city as part of efforts to control air pollution.

The civic body plans to conduct the audit with the support of institutions such as the CWRDM and the Kerala Institute of Local Administration (KILA).

The CWRDM has already submitted an initial proposal for the project. However, Corporation officials said the DPR was a major next step in finalising the audit plan.

“We are in contact with them. But the CWRDM is yet to submit the DPR. Once it is submitted, the Corporation will prepare a detailed plan for conducting the carbon audit and implement it,” an official said.
