The <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/six-indian-airports-rated-among-best-in-world-35098">Airports Authority of India</a> (AAI) announced that four airports in the country have managed a transition from level 1 to level 2 with a reduction in the carbon emissions by grading their systems as per the Airports Council International (ACI).

The airports had adopted the grading system in 2018 and successfully implemented the carbon emission plan.

"Four AAI airports Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport, Kolkata; Biju Patnaik International Airport, Bhubaneswar; Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport, Varanasi and Trivandrum International Airport have met all the necessary requirements to upgrade to level 2: 'reduction', by constituting Carbon Management Plan and reducing the carbon emissions at airports as per the Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) Program," said AAI in a press statement on Wednesday.

As per the data provided for the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/business-%26-economy/maruti-investing-in-new-technologies-to-bring-down-co2-emissions-142544?amp">CO2 emission</a> of four years 2015,16,17,18; these airports witnessed a decrease in emission despite an increase in air traffic.

The grading system of ACI has four categories - mapping, reduction, optimization, and neutrality.

"Carbon mapping occurs when the airport has a policy commitment to emissions reduction and development of a Carbon Footprint for the airport's scope-1 and scope-2 emissions, which are under its control. Carbon reduction occurs when the airport shows the reduction in carbon emissions as compared to the base year," added AAI.

Four Indian airports receive international recognition for reducing emissions

The Odisha police will seek permission from the Centre to declare Puri and its periphery as 'No Flying Zone' during the Rath Jatra of Lord Jagannath, an official said.

This was decided yesterday at a co-ordination meeting, presided over by Odisha DGP R P Sharma, on the Rath Jatra on&nbsp;July 14&nbsp;at Puri.

"It was decided to seek permission from the Centre to declare Puri town and its periphery as No Flying Zone during the festival. The Director of the Biju Patnaik International Airport and the Director of Civil Aviation have said that they will pursue the matter," he said.

The state's senior police personnel, officers of the central government, security agencies like the CRPF, the BSF, the NSG, the RPF, the Coast Guard, the Airport Authorities of India, the Indian Navy and the IB also attended the meeting.

While a threadbare discussion was held relating to the security arrangement for smooth conduct of the festival, the central agencies expressed desires to extend their support to provide sufficient number of manpower and equipment to supplement the security.

While the Coast Guard has agreed for adequate sea patrolling off the coast of Puri, the RPF offered to ensure adequate security at Puri and Bhubaneswar railway stations and dissemination of information to passengers on timings of different trains.

As decided in the meeting sufficient number of CCTV cameras will be installed by the RPF in the Puri railway station during this mega festival, the official said.

Senior officers of the CRPF and the BSF also expressed their co-operation to prevent any subversive act by extremist groups, he said.

A team of the NSG is likely to camp at Puri to meet any emergency during the festival, the official said adding that sufficient number of personnel from NDRF would also be deployed to act in any crisis situation.
