<h1>Milk producers demand fair prices, timely payments, and modern cooling equipment after procurement delays cause spoilage</h1> Milk producers from six blocks across three districts staged a demonstration at a milk chilling plant, demanding fair prices and timely payments from procurement agencies. The farmers accused authorities of mismanagement, citing vehicles waiting hours in sunlight causing milk spoilage and financial losses. Protesters complained of payment delays up to two months and lack of transparency in pricing. A former legislator warned of statewide agitation if issues remain unaddressed. Farmers also demanded modern cooling equipment installation and improved veterinary infrastructure with adequate staffing for animal healthcare.
