KARACHI: The Karachi Dairy Farmers Association on Wednesday increased the milk price by Rs16 a litre, and now the commodity would be available at Rs110 per litre at retail outlets, triggering a wave of anger among the consumers already burdened by growing inflation.
Earlier, the government had set the price of milk at Rs94 a litre.
Sources familiar with the matter told the media that the price of milk was notified at Rs94 per litre by the city administration, while a large number of milk sellers have refused to sell milk at this price.
When asked about the reason behind the price hike, the association responded by asking: “Who is the commissioner [in controlling the milk price]? The product is ours, and so we are to decide about its price.”
Meanwhile, the city administration remained silent on the issue.
