By Express News ServiceTHIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Even as the entire state is under lockdown, a huge group of people is working round-the-clock to ensure the very-essential item reaches the public. While praising the effort of Milma staff, chairman P A Balan Master urged them to take all precautions to protect themselves. According to Balan Master, despite Covid-19 lockdown, officials and employees are working round the clock following all necessary safety measures, as milk and milk products come under the essential item category.“Around 13 lakh litres of milk are being produced daily across 3,500 milk cooperative societies and thes e are being distributed to the consumers daily. “Therefore, we are forced to send excess milk to neighbouring states to be converted into milk powder. Other states are also facing the same situation and the facilities for producing milk powder are also limited in these factories,” said Balan master..
