The Coonoor Consumer Protection Association has appealed to the management of Aavin to sell milk and other dairy products in the Nilgiris district at prices affixed across Tamil Nadu.
S. Manogaran, president of the Coonoor Consumer Protection Association, said the dairy products in the Nilgiris, including milk and curd, were being sold at prices at a much higher cost than in the rest of the State. He said that when he contacted Aavin officials in the Nilgiris inquiring about the discrepancy, he was told that production costs of dairy products in the Nilgiris was higher due to the transportation costs associated with bringing milk to the Nilgiris from the surrounding districts.
