Following the heavy rain, supply of Aavin milk to several areas of the city was affected on Monday. While it was delayed in some places, residents in a few localities complained that they did not get their supply at all.
Sources in Aavin said that despite waist-deep water-logging in one of its dairies, milk was despatched at the usual time. However, water logging all along the supply points delayed the delivery of milk. S. A. Ponnusamy, State President, Tamil Nadu Milk Retailers Welfare Association said though there was heavy water logging on many roads, vendors and retailers managed to supply milk to consumers, though it was slightly delayed.
V. Chandrasekhar of Besant Nagar said the government should recognise the commitment of field staff of Aavin, who ensure milk supply even during crisis situations like the monsoon.
