Coronavirus India: Mother Dairy promises smooth supply amid fight against COVID-19

Mother Dairy, the milk and milk products major and a subsidiary of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), today said that it has taken adequate measures to ensure that there would be no disruption in the supply of milk or other products.

Even Prime Minister had to intervene in that matter and ask people to stop panic buying in his address to the nation yesterday.

“We welcome PM’s appeal to exercise restraint from panic buying of essential food items such as milk and that there will be no disruption in the supply of the same. At Mother Dairy, we will work relentlessly and leave no stone unturned to ensure that the people of Delhi don’t face any shortage of milk. We are fully geared up to ensure that every citizen of NCR is provided with milk in the most hygienic condition. We would like to inform our consumers that we have already taken all adequate measures to ensure the required stock to meet consumer demands.
