Mysuru, Mar 24 (UNI) In a unique attempt to enhance the polling percentage, the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) have decided to print the date of polling on its milk packets to be supplied to the consumers when Mysuru Lok Sabha constituency goes to polls on April 18.

According to Suma, Deputy Director, KMF, Bengaluru, this initiative has been taken to increase the voting percentage.

About 34 lakh litres of milk are produced across all milk unions in the State and the voter messages will be printed daily on the milk sachets.

About 7.5 lakh milk packets are produced daily by the Mysuru Milk Union consisting of Mysuru and Kodagu districts.

Poll-related messages to educate people on their roles and responsibilities were being printed daily on milk sachets of all varieties.

The messages — sourced from officers handling Systematic Voter Education and Electoral Participation (SVEEP) in Mysuru Lok Sabha constituency — will be carried on the sachets until the elections are over.
