A dairy processing facility reported that it had stopped a milk tanker driver who, after completing a delivery of paneer whey, proceeded to fill the tanker with 9,800 litres of milk. The incident was detected by plant staff who observed the vehicle entering the premises with a full load of milk.
According to the plant's operational logs, the driver first unloaded paneer whey as part of a scheduled supply run. Shortly thereafter, the same tanker was seen being refilled with raw milk, prompting plant officials to intervene.
Plant authorities said the driver was detained on site while the matter was reviewed for compliance with dairy handling regulations. No injuries or product contamination were reported, and the plant continued its regular processing activities.
The incident underscores the importance of strict monitoring of dairy logistics to prevent unauthorized handling of milk, which can affect quality control and safety standards.
Further details are awaited as the dairy plant coordinates with relevant regulatory bodies to determine any corrective actions.
