Chennai: After a row over Amul selling milk in Karnataka, now Tamil Nadu has opposed Amul setting up chilling centres and a processing plant in the state.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K.Stalin on Thursday said that the Kaira District Cooperative Milk Producers’ Union or Amul is infringing on the milk-shed area of Tamil Nadu Cooperative Milk Producers Federation Limited or Aavin.
Earlier a similar row erupted in Karnataka after Amul announced plans to enter and expand in the state, ahead of the Assembly elections in the state, which took place on May 10.
The Gujarat-based dairy cooperative Amul on April 5 stated that it plans to enter the state’s market to supply milk and curd. The announcement was not welcomed by the people who held protests and destroyed Amul products.
