Hisar, June 26

Highlighting their condition owing to the “aggravating crisis” afflicting the dairy sector, milk producers and cattle farmers of various districts here today demanded the guarantee of minimum support price for milk by strengthening the cooperative sector.

At a meeting organised by the All-India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) in Jind town, the milk producers and cattle farmers said a guarantee for the support price would minimise the exploitation of both producers and consumers. They demanded the restart of cattle fairs, curb on stray cattle, better animal health facilities, easy credit and availability of grazing lands.

The All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) leader Inderjit Singh said the cost of milk production was increasing, while milk prices were not increasing to compensate the rising inflation. As a result, the rural economy was facing a crisis, he said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
