Railway Minister Piyush Goyal announced the decision on Tuesday after attending a high-level meeting chaired by Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, Agriculture Minister Radha Mohan Singh, representatives of Amul India and food safety body FSSAI to discuss issues and concerns of the dairy sector, news agency PTI reported.
Railways will soon take a call on the availability of milk at railway stations and discuss how milk consumption can be increased in the country. "We will take a decision in two to four days," PTI quoted Goyal as saying.
The idea to make milk available across railway stations was mooted by the Agriculture Ministry at the meeting. Amul proposed that stalls could be provided by the national transporter to dairy companies or cooperatives where they could sell their dairy products at the stations.
