Kolhapur: Shiv Sena (UBT) leaders and workers from the district have decided to stop milk tankers moving in and out of the processing facility at Kolhapur’s largest milk cooperative Gokul dairy, on Saturday morning.
Ten days back, the Sena(UBT) delegation met Gokul dairy management and demanded an increase in the prices of cow milk to Rs36 per litre. The dairy reduced the cow milk prices to Rs33 per litre.If the tankers are stopped, the milk supply to Pune and Mumbai will be affected.
“The state-mandated price for the cow milk to Rs34 per litre. But the dairy, which collects milk from more than 5 lakh farmers, is letting down the farmers, especially when the prices of cattle feed, medicines, etc have increased,” said Sanjay Pawar, district Sena (UBT) president. The dairy management has cited reduced demand for milk for slashing procurement prices.

How Delhi is paying the price for farmers’ desperation
Despite efforts to curb the practice, farmers in Punjab continue to burn crop residue, leading to air pollution and a potential increase in Delhi’s Air Quality Index. The farmers, facing financial burdens and a lack of support, resort to burning because of the challenges involved in rice cultivation and harvesting. The state government is slowly working towards alternative crops and introducing new techniques for paddy cultivation, but the complex ground reality, including extreme weather conditions, inadequate machinery distribution, and lack of trust in the government, contributes to the ongoing issue of stubble burning.
