It is no secret that the drive against illicit liquor and adulterated toddy in the state has been hampered by the long delay in testing seized samples. The excise department is dependent on the three regional chemical laboratories of the state government for the tests. As a way out, the department will soon have its own mobile laboratories across the state to spruce up the drive. “The mobile labs, which the department gave up earlier, are coming back. The first laboratory will start functioning in Thiruvananthapuram on an experimental basis soon. More laboratories will be set up across the state in a phased manner," said joint excise commissioner, Sreekumaran Chettiar.
