The Uttarakhand Jal Sansthan (UJS) will soon be equipped with two mobile laboratories to test water quality across the Kumaon and Garhwal regions.
The state water authority, Uttarakhand Jal Sansthan, has confirmed that two mobile water‑testing laboratories will be deployed in the near future. The units are intended to serve the hilly districts of Kumaon and Garhwal, where permanent testing facilities are limited. By bringing the labs directly to remote villages, officials aim to improve monitoring of drinking‑water safety and address contamination concerns promptly. The deployment is part of the government's broader effort to strengthen water‑quality surveillance in the state. Details on the exact timeline and operational logistics will be announced by UJS in the coming weeks.
