Bangalore Milk Union seeks ₹5 per litre hike
The Hindu
CM, however, refuses to give assurance
At a time when economically-weaker sections in the State are reeling under price rise of essential commodities, the State government is under intense pressure from the district milk unions to allow them to hike the price of milk and milk products.
The Bangalore Milk Union has sought a hike by ₹5 per litre to overcome a steep increase in input cost for dairy farming.
On Wednesday, KMF chairman Balachandra Jarkiholi urged Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai to increase the price of milk. “Karnataka at ₹37/₹38 a litre has the cheapest milk rate in the country. The price of all other commodities have increased,” he pointed out.
