Assam to reach 10 lakh litre milk processing capacity in 3 years: CM Sarma
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday performed bhumi pujan for the expansion of Purabi Dairy, which will extend the milk processing capacity of the plant to 3 lakh litres per day. The Assam CM announced that the NDDB (National Dairy Development Board) and the state government are jointly working to set up new processing units in Silchar, Dibrugarh, Jorhat and other locations. He noted that the step will increase the milk processing capacity of Assam to 10 lakh litres in the next three years. "In Assam, we decided three years ago that we would produce 10 lakh litres of milk for daily processing... Today we are here for the Bhumi Pujan, under which NDDB (National Dairy Development Board) will increase the milk processing capacity of this plant to 3 lakh litres. Additionally, the Assam Government and NDDB are jointly working to establish more processing units in Silchar, Dibrugarh, Jorhat, and other locations... I am fully confident that in the next 3-4 years, Assam will have a daily milk processing capacity of 10 lakh litres", Sarma told reporters. Earlier this year during the Advantage Assam Summit state's dairy and organic farming sectors received a major boost with the signing of two crucial Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs). In a move set to double the milk processing capacity at Purabi Dairy's Panjabari plant in Guwahati, the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) and West Assam Milk Producers' Cooperative Union Limited (WAMUL) formalised an agreement on February 26. The expansion project, estimated at Rs 100 crore, will increase the plant's capacity from 1.5 lakh litres per day (LLPD) to 3 LLPD, ensuring a steady supply of quality dairy products to meet growing consumer demand. The expansion will also see an increase in fermented milk product production from 20 metric tons per day (MTPD) to 50 MTPD and the establishment of a new ice cream plant with a capacity of 20 TLPD.

BMC sends over 3000 notices to establishments not having Marathi display boards
In a crackdown against shopowners and traders who have not set up signboards displaying the name of their establishments in Marathi, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has issued notices to 3,040 shops and establishments who are yet to set up Marathi signboards. In February 2022, the state government unanimously passed a resolution at the legislative assembly in February by amending the Maharashtra Shops and Establishments Act, thus mandating setting up of signboards above all the shops and commercial establishments in the State displaying the names of the establishments in Marathi language. The order also stated that the font size of the Marathi language should be bigger and bolder than the font size of any other language on the signboard. The BMC had since been carrying out inspections in markets and public spaces checking the display boards of shops and has begun penalising the owners. However, the move was discontinued after the Federation of Retail Traders Welfare Association (FRTWA) had approached the Supreme Court (SC). The SC later issued a temporary stay in 2022 and had asked the civic authorities to file a reply. However, the stay was revoked in September, 2023 and the civic body had given establishments time till November that year for setting up Marathi signboards. Following this, the BMC started taking action on the establishments. Furthermore, the BMC's records show that till date the authorities have penalised more than 522 shops and establishments generating Rs 46 lakh in penalties. 'The notices were served under section 35 of the state shops and establishments act and these entities will now have to appear in the Bombay High Court (HC) which, following the judgement will decide on the amount of penalty that is to be levied on them,' said a civic official. The official said that the maximum penalty amount is Rs 2,000 per registered employee in each shop or establishment. He said that the court may also amend the rate depending on its findings and the facts presented. 'At present there are more than 10 lakh shops and commercial establishments in Mumbai and less than 50% of the shops have Marathi signboards set up on them. We are taking photographs of the shops as evidence as we send them notices,' the official said. The BMC has appointed 60 inspectors at various ward and zonal levels to inspect the shops. Each of these officers inspect around 50 shops every day and the BMC targets to inspect 2,000-3,000 shops per day in Mumbai.
