Three more BMCs will be inaugurated on Thursday. Through this, milk procurement will increase by 2,000 litres and farmers will be able to provide milk till 10 a.m. and between 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Further, construction work is in progress in the district for Aavin dairy.
Milk procured in Namakkal district is sent to Salem Aavin and value-added products are manufactured and for this, ₹3.80 is paid for one litre of milk. The milk cooperative societies sustained losses because of this. So, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin announced that a dairy will be constructed on Mohanur Road in Namakkal at ₹90 crore.
