Dairy farmers have increased the price of milk by Rs10/- without the approval of the government authority and milk is being sold out openly at an increased rate. It is surprising to see that those who were selling milk at Rs110/- per litre are now selling milk at Rs120/- and those who were selling milk at Rs120/- which was an arbitrary rate by themselves have now increased another Rs10/- more. This is injustice for the common people to buy and afford milk in such skyrocketing inflation by the government.
Moreover, it is not hidden from anyone and the well-known truth that pure milk is out of reach of common people except those who buys milk from dairy farms. Milking is taken place in front of their own eyes while it is out of the question to buy pure milk from shops.
The government needs to crack down on dairy farmers who have increased rates without the approval of the government as well as ensure pure milk is supplied to common people.
