Udupi, July 11: Due to the increase in Milk production in Dakshina Kannada Co-operative Milk Producers Union, the Union has decided to extend the benefit to the Nandini consumers by giving them a free 180ML packet of Nandini Trupti milk with the purchase of every Nandini Milk packet (500ML, 1L, 6L) in Udupi and Dakshina Kannada districts on July 12.
Informing this to media persons at KMF Dairy in Manipal, Union President Raviraj Hegde said that the Union has come up with this consumer-friendly scheme for the better use of the surplus produced milk. It has been decided to give the Trupti milk worth around Rs. 62 lakh to the Nandini consumers free of cost,” Hegde added.
Throwing more light on preparation, he said “those who deliver milk at doorsteps have also been asked to distribute Trupti milk free of cost on July 12. All dealers have been informed of free milk delivery and the Trupti milk packets have also been prepared. The teams have been formed to make sure the milk is properly delivered to consumers. The Union is intended to benefit all customers without any compromise.”
“This is the first such implementation among the 14 units of the Union in the state. After observing its pros and cons, other schemes will be planned about the surplus produced milk.”
“The new dairy, which is coming up at the cost of Rs. 85 crore with the capacity of 2.5 lakh liters at Uppoor near Udupi, will be fully integrated with the automated system,” the president added.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
