Abstract: Tamil Nadu Dairy Development Minister K T Rajenthra Bhalaji on Wednesday, made serious allegations against the private milk companies claiming that they sell adulterated milk and was the cause of cancer in many children. The minister said during a function in Chennai that he was collecting more information and would sue the companies involved. The minister said, “Milk sold by private dealers is definitely adulterated. The milk that is banned in Kerala is being sold in Tamil Nadu according to my investigation,” reported The New Indian Express. He asserted that the companies were using preservatives and the milk sold by state run milk cooperative Aavin was safe for consumption.
