Pollution Control Board's Permanent lab started

Chairman of the Pollution Control Board, Dr Ajith Haridas, inaugurated  new lab set up at the Sewage Treatment Plant near Bayiley Bridge.

A permanent lab has been started to test water purification for the first time in Sannidhanam. Earlier, the water testing lab had only functioned in Pampa. This system can be useful for checking the quantity of water collected from different locations and the purity of the drinking water supplied.

The Chairman said that necessary measures will be taken to maintain the purity of the water in the Bhasmakkulam. The amount of water in Pampa is now satisfactory. However, if the rains are low and the summer is hot, the water levels in Pampa may be reduced. Steps will be taken to address this. Waste disposal systems are working effectively.  Alexander George, District Environmental Engineer, Pathanamthitta, Josmon J and Aniger KR, Assistant Environmental Engineers also take part.
