Milk distribution was severely hit in three southern districts of Kerala after employees in the Thiruvananthapuram regional unit of Milma went on strike on Tuesday.
The joint agitation by employees’ unions affiliated to the Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC) and the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) brought milk supply in Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam and Pathanamthitta to a standstill.
While milk provided by dairy societies reached Milma’s Ambalathara dairy, supply remained suspended from the early hours of the day.
