Consumers, however, could end up paying even more with milkmen charging varying amounts from consumers on the pretext of supplying ‘unadulterated milk’.
The hike in milk prices will also result in a corresponding increase in prices of sweets and other milk-based products.
The consumers are already burdened with the skyrocketing prices of vegetables.
