Patna: Patna Dairy Project (popularly known as Sudha) will supply 3 lakh kg of curd and 31 lakh of litres of milk to city residents this Makar Sankranti while it will supply 4. 31 lakh kg of curd and 61 lakh litres of milk for the state.

"There won't be any crisis of milk and curd this Makar Sankranti. We have come with six milk tankers in Patna to meet the demand. Besides, we are also running six Dahi Express which would provide curd to the booths wherever there is some crisis," said Patna Dairy Project managing director Sudhir Kumar Singh.

On curd sale till Saturday, Sudhir said: "So far, 2.6 lakh kg of curd has already been sold in Patna. Three more days are left. So we expect to meet our target of selling 3 lakh kg curd in the state capital."

Sudhir said people are inclined towards curd rather than milk. "This is why we have brought curds in various variants. We have 100gm to 16kg curd packs. People can buy as per requirement. We have a Dahi-Chura combo pack which comprises flattened rice, curd, sugar and pickle. It is for one person and costs Rs 50. Those who live away from their family opt for this. However, most people prefer to buy curd packs from us while separately buying flattened rice to enjoy the festival with their family," added Sudhir.
