Mumbai: Ban on Tabela milk poses a risk of unemployment, Abu Asim protests against FDA order, banning Tabila milk is not right

Mumbai: Maharashtra Samajwadi Party leader and MLA Abu Asim Azmi, opposing the FDA’s action against milk vendors and milk sellers and the ban on the sale of unpasteurized milk, today held a banner on the steps outside the Assembly and protested against it, saying that the FDA’s action is commendable, but the way in which the order to stop the sale of unpasteurized milk by banning the sale of unpasteurized milk has been issued is unfair to these milk sellers, which has increased unemployment. Azmi held a banner in his hands that read: Millions of unemployed, failed government, stop injustice with Tabila people. Addressing reporters, Azmi said that Tabila milk is better than one and a half and closed milk. In our house, milk is provided from Aarey Colony, which is better than dairy milk, while buffaloes and animals are raised for Tabila milk and its pure milk is sold. If open milk is to be banned, guidelines should be issued regarding this. Along with this, action should be taken if there is adulteration in milk. However, the government should consider this by suddenly banning Tabila milk. Unemployment will increase due to this. Azmi said that action against adulterators is necessary because adulteration is now common in everything from vegetables to milk, but along with this, milk dairies should be given a six-month time and allowed to supply milk as per the guidelines, Azmi demanded. He said that the FDA’s ban on open milk has created a livelihood problem for dairies owners and their associates.
