The Hindu  

Hundreds of dairy farmers under the Ernakulam Regional Cooperative Milk Producers’ Union have been hit by heavy winds and rains in recent days. ERCMPU chairman John Theruvath said the Paniyeli milk primary cooperative was one of the hardest hit, with its building having been extensively damaged in rains at the end of March. The regional cooperative distributed around ₹8 lakh to 28 farmers at Koottikkal in Kottayam district, where farmers suffered extensive losses in landslips and rains last year. The regional milk union, said Mr. Theruvath, had distributed ₹7 crore to farmers in incentives during 2021-22 despite the pandemic situation.
