Milk price hike to protect dairy farmers from mounting financial losses: DK Shivakumar

Karnataka Chief Minister DK Shivakumar announced a Rs 8 increase in milk prices to support dairy farmers. He emphasized the need for higher prices due to rising costs in transportation and packaging. Farmers have been advocating for a price hike for several years, and the Cabinet's decision follows this demand. Comparatively, the milk prices in Karnataka remain lower than in neighboring states.
