YEIDA officials said that after the scheme was launched, Mother Dairy wrote a letter to the Authority, expressing its desire to set up kiosks there.
“After Lok Sabha elections are over, Yamuna Authority will consider Mother Dairy’s proposal,” a senior official said. Officials said that 52 booths are supposed to be built in sectors 18, 20, and 22D.
