The Kozhikode district leadership of the Local Self Government Department has launched a project called 'Swastham Thaddesam' to clear pending audit observations in local bodies in the district.
The first step was a workshop for elected representatives and staff of seven municipalities and 12 block panchayats, inaugurated by District Panchayat President Milli Mohan.
Officials of the state Audit Department and the Local Self Government Department took the sessions.
The project will examine audit obstacles of the last three years in 91 local bodies in the district and resolve them with the state Audit Department.
Block level clinics will be held in November with the help of 'Audit Mitras', and audit adalats will follow in November and December under the supervision of the state Audit Department.
Retired officials of the department will work as Audit Mitras to assist the local bodies.
