Mandya: Days after the milk adulteration scam, where milk was mixed with equal quantity of water during transportation, was unearthed in ManMUL (Mandya Milk Union Limited), the Government on Saturday  is said to have suspended six officials.

The six officials, who were on route  duty, were suspended on charges of dereliction of duty. Soon as the scam came to light, the authorities had seized four milk tankers and a case was registered against their owners.
