Why farmers in Maharashtra dumped thousands of litres of milk? | Ghanti Bajao

Hundreds of farmers on Tuesday emptied tankers and cans containing thousands of litres of milk on the streets in Sangli, Kolhapur, Jalna, Hingoli, Solapur and Pune demanding an increase in milk procurement prices.

Hundreds of activists led by Swabhimani Shetkari Sanghatana (SSS) President Raju Shetti took to the streets all over the state, especially in some of the key milk-producing regions of western Maharashtra, and stopped milk tankers and milk tempos transporting milk to towns and cities.
