'Direct Amul To Desist Milk Procurement From Aavin's Sheds In TN': Stalin Writes To Amit Shah

CM Stalin also pointed out that the move by AMUL would create unhealthy competition between cooperatives engaged in procuring and marketing milk and milk products.

Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin wrote to Union Minister Amit Shah requesting his intervention to stall Amul’s milk procurement from the milk shed area of Aavin in Tamil Nadu with immediate effect. The CM wrote to Amit Shah amidst his nine-day trip to Singapore and Japan.

In the letter, CM Stalin said, “Recently, it has come to our notice that Kaira District Cooperative Milk Producers' Union (Amul), has utilised their multi-state cooperative license, to install chilling centres and a processing plant in Krishnagiri District and has planned to procure milk through FPOS and SHGS in and around Krishnagiri, Dharmapuri, Vellore, Ranipet, Tirupathur, Kancheepuram and Tiruvallur districts in our State.”

“It has been a norm in India to let cooperatives thrive without infringing on each other's milk-shed area. Such cross-procurement goes against the spirit of 'Operation White Flood and will exacerbate problems for the consumers given the prevailing milk shortage scenario in the country,” he said.

The Chief Minister said that the act of AMUL infringes on Aavin's milk shed areas which have been nurtured in true cooperative spirit over decades. He also pointed out that the move by AMUL would create unhealthy competition between cooperatives engaged in procuring and marketing milk and milk products.

The CM said: “Regional cooperatives have been the bedrock of dairy development in the states and they are better placed to engage and nurture producers and to Cushion consumers from arbitrary price hikes.”

As a result, the CM requested the urgent intervention of Amit Shah to direct Amul to desist from milk procurement from the milk shed area of Aavin in Tamil Nadu with immediate effect.
