New Delhi [India], April 3: Member of Parliament from Kurukshetra, Naveen Jindal, raised an important issue in the Lok Sabha today, urging the Government of India to establish a Food Testing Laboratory in Kurukshetra under the "One District, One Lab" initiative.
Speaking during Question Hour, Jindal said, "To protect public health and ensure consumer rights, every district must have access to a proper food testing infrastructure. Kurukshetra, being a major agricultural and growing urban district, is an ideal location for such a facility."
This demand comes in continuation of Jindal's earlier interventions in Parliament, where he strongly advocated for transparent front and back labeling on food products and regulation of ultra-refined seed oils. He emphasized that these measures are vital to building a healthier India.

Jindal welcomed the minister's response and said, "I thank the Minister for recognizing the need. We must ensure that every citizen has access to safe and nutritious food. A lab in Kurukshetra will serve lakhs of people and strengthen our food safety systems."
