PMK leader Anbumani Ramadoss urged the Tamil Nadu government to ensure uninterrupted supply of Aavin's standardised milk, citing a reported reduction from 7.5 lakh to 3.5 lakh liters daily in Chennai, which may force consumers to buy costlier private brands. Meanwhile, the Tamil Nadu Milk Producers Welfare Association demanded a hike in milk procurement prices to offset rising fodder and fuel costs, called for adherence to a court order on payment settlements, and requested subsidies and insurance schemes to support dairy farmers and Aavin's financial losses.
