Pallavaram residents protest late arrival of Aavin milk truck
Special Correspondent
TAMBARAM: Sore over the delay in the arrival of trucks bringing Aavin milk packets, residents of Pallavaram staged a protest blocking the vehicle on Sunday morning.
The truck carrying milk normally reaches the distribution point on Dargah Road at 5 a.m. everyday. Residents complained that it had been regularly coming late by more than an hour.
When the vehicle arrived at 7 a.m. on Sunday, the residents blocked its way it and refused to buy the milk packets as a mark of protest. Senior officials from Aavin and the Police Department intervened and dispersed the residents. The Aavin officials said the vehicle reached the distribution point in Pallavaram late on two occasions last week owing to the problems created by diesel shortage across the city.
And early on Sunday morning, the regular truck carrying the milk packets to Pallavaram broke down. They had to arrange a spare vehicle and hence the delay, the officials said. A total of 900 litres of Aavin milk were brought back without being distributed to the residents, they said.
