Milk retailers and dealers have urged the State government to take steps to prevent sale of milk above the maximum retail price (MRP) by certain supermarkets.
“Some stores sell half litre milk packets for as less as ₹12 while the MRP is ₹20. This has led to consumers picking fights with retailers and distributors asking us why we are not selling milk at those prices. In a few places, shopkeepers are buying such low-priced milk from supermarkets and selling it to consumers,” said S.A. Ponnusamy, Tamil Nadu Milk Dealers and Employees Welfare Association.
