Hello, i would also like to add that the project will be joining eight other air monitoring stations already established by the Pollution Control Board. These are located at Vyttila, Irumbanam, M.G. Road, South Rail Overbridge, Kalamassery, Perumbavoor and two at Eloor.

Hi, good news for our city that another airmonitoring station is being set up in the city, isn't it? :) Also the Port Trust had taken up pollution control measures such as onshore power supply for ships at port. The port handled about six lakh tonnes of cement a year and this had taken several thousand lorries off the roads in Kochi.
