The Special Armed Police Camp at Perurkkada may soon turn into another green lung in the urban environment. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Monday inaugurated a project to build a miyawaki forest on campus.
The project seeks to create a green island on one side of the camp as a biofence. The 1,200 trees planted in a 250 square meter plot will add green cover to the area and provide a healthy environment to the parade ground by reducing atmospheric pollution. The biofence is also expected to serve as a nature conservation model for the police personnel undergoing training at the camp.
Mr. Vijayan handed over a sapling to SAP Commandant B. Ajithkumar to inaugurate the biofencing project.
