Gangtok, Jan 23: <\/strong>Sikkim government has relaxed the ban on the supply of milk from the districts of West Bengal. The ban was relaxed from Kalimpong and Darjeeling districts following a \u201crequest\u201d<\/strong> from dairy farmers.<\/p>\n

Sikkim government had imposed a temporary ban on the entry of packaged and canned milk from outside the state on Wednesday, citing its questionable quality and also as a preventive measure to stop the spread of Covid-19.<\/p>\n

The ban had led to strong protests from farmers in Kalimpong<\/a> <\/span>and Darjeeling with the Kalimpong Krishak Kalyan Sangathan on Friday threatening to stop the sale of Sikkim-produced milk in the hills of Bengal.<\/p>\n

Sikkim\u2019s department of animal husbandry and veterinary services on Saturday relaxed the ban for milk farmers on a \u201cgoodwill basis\u201d<\/strong> to enable them to sustain their livelihood, but said they would only be allowed to sell their produce directly to consumers in the borders areas of the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese dairy farmers shall ensure that milk in cans supplied in Sikkim near check-posts originate from their own cows or farms and shall ensure cleanliness and safety of milk for consumption,\u201d<\/strong> said the notice, adding that the state government would take \u201cnecessary action\u201d<\/strong> if the milk was found to be of inferior quality and the required hygiene was not maintained.<\/p>\n

\n

The notice further said that the milk from outside would not be allowed to be supplied to village cooperative societies of state since certain government incentives were only available to dairy farmers of the state.<\/p>\n

While imposing the temporary ban on the entry of milk from outside, the government had said random tests had found the product inconsistent with quality standards and that many consumers had also complained.<\/p>\n

Besides, the Sikkim government had feared that manual handling of milk packaged in pouches and cans could lead to the spread of Covid-19.<\/p>\n

Bishnu Chettri, the president of the Krishak Kalyan Sangathan, welcomed the lifting of the ban and thanked the Sikkim government for paying heed to its call.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur ultimatum to stop the sale of milk produced in Sikkim in our areas stands withdrawn,\u201d<\/strong> he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
