Milk Vita urges picketers not to attack its vehicles

Finding no other way, the state-run cooperative dairy firm Milk Vita tagged its milk tankers with white flags appealing to all the political demonstrators to refrain from attacking its vehicles during hartal and blockade.
Mohammad Munir Chowdhury, managing director of Milk Vita, in a statement yesterday made the appeal. He said the white flag has been tagged as a symbol of peace.
Milk supply from the country's largest dairy producer fell down by around 6.5 lakh litres in first nine days of December due to the opposition's blockade, he said.
Milk Vita could supply only 4.24 lakh litres of milk in Dhaka and Chittagong during the nine days while 10.61 lakh litres during the same period last year, said the statement.
