Dairy Farm Association Chief Shakir Umar revealed that price hike is a result of failed talks between the dairy farmers and Commissioner Karachi.
“We used to sell milk at Rs85 per litre to middlemen, however, we have now started implementing the price increase”
The milk prices have raised right after the increase in transport fares owing to costlier fuel, higher cow fodder costs, and other expenses.
On the contrary, the government has fixed the price of milk at Rs 94 per liter.
Citizens woke up to the shocking news this morning and are expressing their outrage over the increase.
