In the ongoing campaign of Chhattisgarh State Cooperative Dairy Federation (CSCDF) titled ‘Dudh Ka Dudh, Pani Ka Pani’ to check the quality of milk being used by the consumers across the State, as many as 45 milk samples were collected in the Kushalpur area in a camp held between 7 am to 10 am on Monday.
The outcome of quality-test of the milk was that only three samples were found of standard quality while the rest of the 42 samples failed the test–making it 87 per cent of total milk samples as of sub standard quality, officials informed. The milk of sub standard quality raised grave concerns among the consumers.
This apart, the team found a considerable difference in the price of milk, which was being sold from Rs 20 per litre to Rs 48 per litre in Kushalpur area. Under the ongoing campaign, a team of CSCDF will on Tuesday organise a camp in Kashiram Nagar. The officials concerned have urged the locals to provide samples of milk being used by them during the camp from 7 am to 10 pm to check its quality free of cost.
