With assembly elections scheduled to take place in Keralam tomorrow, authorities have issued strict instructions to ensure full compliance with green protocol guidelines during the voting process. The measures aim to promote an environmentally responsible election while maintaining order and efficiency across polling stations. 

Extensive measures have been put in place to ensure strict compliance with green protocol guidelines across all polling booths and related centres in Keralam. Single-use plastics and thermocol items have been completely banned, with steel utensils and glassware provided through Kudumbashree units. A scientific waste management system has been arranged with the support of the Haritha Karma Sena. A “Green Button” campaign has been conducted for the past three weeks to promote awareness. Strict inspections have led to fines exceeding ₹8 lakh statewide. Notably, green protocol initiatives in Keralam during last year’s local body elections had drawn national attention.
