The Delhi government has designated Dr. Nandita Moitra and Arvind Kumar, both officials from the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC), as 'government analysts' responsible for collecting and testing samples of water, sewage, and industrial effluents throughout the city. This decision, formalized in a gazette notification on April 23, utilizes provisions from the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974. Their responsibilities will include identifying violations and discrepancies, and certifying laboratory findings for use in pollution-related legal cases. This move follows the establishment of a state water laboratory in Delhi earlier this year, aimed at enhancing the testing and analysis of water pollution and untreated sewage discharge. The initiative reflects the government's commitment to improving regulatory compliance and strengthening pollution monitoring mechanisms.
