Chandigarh: As cases of food adulteration rise, especially in edible oils, it is surprising that the region, including Punjab, Haryana, and Chandigarh, has no facility to check different parameters of adulteration in mustard oil. The nearest laboratory to check such parameters is in Nagpur, nearly 1,500 km from Chandigarh. Taking note of this, the Punjab and Haryana high court has now asked the central govt to inform about its present policy and whether there is a proposal for opening other laboratories across the country and if not , why .
HC questions lack of local testing infra for mustard oil adulteration
