Kerala High Court on Tuesday ordered the Lakshadweep administration to restore the old midday meal menu in schools which had beef and chicken and stayed the auction of cows from the dairy farms that were shut down recently.
The division bench comprising Chief Justice S. Manikumar and Justice Shaji P. Chaly issued the order on Tuesday on a PIL filed by lawyer Ajmal Ahmed, a native of Lakshadweep.

The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) Polit Bureau Member Nakka Anand Babu has alleged that the State government is ‘hatching a conspiracy’ to kill Sangam Dairy and hand over its business to the Gujarat-based Amul out of political vendetta.
In a statement on Tuesday, Mr. Anand Babu said that the farmers dependent on Sangam Dairy would be badly hit due to the government’s thoughtless activities. It was unfortunate that neither Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy nor his Cabinet colleagues had concern for the farmers.
Farmers hardly benefited under the YSRCP rule during the last two years. Instead of encouraging Sangam Dairy to do more farmer-friendly activities, the ruling party leaders had attacked it in order to settle political scores, he alleged.
