CPM state conference: It's green salam on meet venue

Thrissur: The  CPM state conference to be held here from Thursday to Sunday will follow the  green protocol by avoiding  synthetic and plastic materials. The organising committee has issued  a ‘clear out’ order to  flex boards and plastic pen, plates and glasses among other things and   adopted bio-degradable materials like clothes, bamboo and paper for use at the event. The organisers have used a special bamboo name (Aanamula) for the badges to be handed over to all the 570 delegates attending the conference.   The badges would be kept by the delegates as a memento, they said.
