Maha farmers to distribute free milk to protest against govt
Farmers in Maharashtra's Aurangabad have decided to distribute free milk from May 3-9 in protest against the low base prices fixed by the government. "We have to sell milk at â¹17 (to cooperatives and dairies). We had demanded a base price of â¹50/litre, but the government fixed procurement price at â¹27. We're running into losses," a protesting farmer said.
