Yet another attempt by the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) to raise milk prices to provide relief to farmers across the State has been, for now, spiked by the government.
While KMF had sought permission of the State government to increase the price of milk by ₹5 a litre, Minister for Cooperation S.T. Somashekhar told The Hindu that they had received the proposal, but the government had decided not to act on it immediately. “We will take a call after reviewing the pros and cons with Chief Minister Basvaraj Bommai,” he said.
