Looks like calcium intake for the average malayalee is going to be a costly affair... Milk prices have been steadily on the rise since for some time now, and it was just a couple of months back that MILMA, had increased their prices to Rs. 17 per litre.
But it seems the director board has against appealed to the government to allow them to raise the prices to Rs. 20/- per litre.... A sum which is way beyond the reach of the common man!
Milk has been in short supply in the state for quite some time now. Gods own country is depending on it's neighbour, Karnataka, to satisfy it's requirements, what with Tamilnadu and Maharashtra turning down the request. If Karnataka too stops supplying milk, Malayalees are going to be in real trouble...
Inflation has already made the life of the common man difficult in many ways than one. Infact, when asked about the drastically increasing rice prices, one 'responsible' minister had a comment akin to the one made by the erstwhile French queen Mary Antoniette.... he said " Why should keralites be eating rice? It is high time we changed our food habits to chicken and eggs ...."
Howzzzzzaaaaattt????
