The Hindu · india

CPI(M) leaders protested in Vijayawada against Vijaya Dairy's ₹2 per litre milk price increase. The protest occurred as the new Vijaya Dairy Chairman assumed charge. Leaders submitted a memorandum demanding the withdrawal of the hike, citing financial difficulties for families already facing rising essential commodity prices. They claimed the increase, the third this year, would burden consumers by ₹200 crore and urged strengthening the dairy as a cooperative.
