Dairy Development Minister Mano Thangaraj on Saturday said that to ensure availability of Aavin milk and milk-based products, eight high tech parlours will be kept open 24x7.
“Right now, there is extra need for milk and milk powder. The initiative is meant for that extra demand. Initially there was some panic buying, especially on Tuesday after it stopped raining. Now things are settling down, but there is still need for making milk available at all times,” he explained.
Parlours in front of dairies at Ambattur, Madhavaram and Sholinganallur; 18th Main Road, Vasantham Colony and Goodness Tower Park at Anna Nagar; Vannandurai at Besant Nagar; C. P. Ramaswamy Road in Mylapore; and near Valasaravakkam Mega Mart, would remain open. This is perhaps the first time that parlours are being kept open 24x7.
