Delhi Approves Rs 151.81 Crore Forensic Lab in Sheikh Sarai

Delhi has approved a new forensic laboratory in Sheikh Sarai.

A forensic laboratory uses science to examine evidence from possible crimes.

The project will cost Rs 151.81 crore.

It will sit on a plot of about 6,300 square metres and have 18,300 square metres of built-up space.

The Public Works Department will construct the facility.

The government wants construction finished within two years.

Officials said new criminal laws have increased the need for forensic investigations.

The lab is expected to help examine evidence and prepare reports more efficiently.

It will support South, Southeast and Central Delhi, as well as the existing forensic facility in Rohini.
