​​​​​​​Karnali Province to establish quality control labs in all its districts

SURKHET, DECEMBER 29: All nine districts in Karnali Province will soon have their own quality control laboratories related to infrastructure. Prabin Karki, Information Officer at the Ministry of Physical Infrastructures and Urban Development, confirmed that the ministry is establishing these labs within the current fiscal year.

Nine lab technician positions have been created to operate these labs.

Surkhet, the provincial capital, already has a functioning lab established in the last fiscal year 2023/24. This existing lab currently serves all nine districts and generates an annual revenue of Rs 2 million.
