The Dairy Development department will set up a milk testing laboratory at Walayar border check-post near here in view of Onam celebrations. The milk testing lab will function round-the-clock from September 3 to 7.
A. Prabhakaran, MLA, will inaugurate the enhanced milk testing programme of the Dairy Development department at Walayar on Saturday morning. Officials said that vigil against the inflow of adulterated and poor quality milk was maintained especially in view of Onam celebrations.
The demand for milk is likely to increase at least three times during Onam, and the inflow of milk from Tamil Nadu will also increase accordingly as the Kerala Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (Milma) cannot meet the demand.
