What happened
A payment dispute between the local Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) administration and Amul caused a disruption in the supply of fortified "Sanjeevani" milk in Vadodara. The centres affected are located in Vadodara, Gujarat. The issue was a dispute over payments owed to Amul. This meant that roughly 5,500 children across about 400 government anganwadi centres went without their daily dose of milk for about a week.
