"After an employee suffered a fever, other workers have been prevented from entering into the Madhavaram plant. The plant is in operational with full capacity," said a senior officer. However, residents of North Chennai said they either received milk very late or did on receive at all, on Monday. "Many workers refused to collect milk from Madhavaram milk unit and instead picked the packets from Ambattur milk unit on Monday. That is why it was delayed in a lot of places. Madhavaram Aavin milk unit supplies 90per cent of the milk to North Chennai and 10 per cent, to Central Chennai. Both the regions will be affected," said SA Ponnusamy, state president, Tamil Nadu Milk Dealers Welfare Association.
