In Narukheri village, farmers propose Rs 80 per litre for cow milk and Rs 100 for buffalo milk, pending public feedback. They highlighted challenges like low prices from middlemen, increased feed costs, and inadequate veterinary services, urging government support for livestock insurance and medical facilities.
