Haryana farmers have halted the milk supply by surrounding milk plants and announcing a village‑wide boycott, disrupting the dairy chain across the state.
On a day of heightened tensions, dairy farmers in Haryana halted the state’s milk supply by surrounding several milk processing plants. The farmers, demanding better terms, have taken to gherao tactics to pressure plant operators.
The protest has escalated to a broader boycott, with farmers announcing that they will refuse to deliver milk from villages across the state. This move threatens to disrupt the supply chain that feeds dairy processors and retailers.
The dairy industry in Haryana, a major contributor to India’s milk production, is already grappling with price volatility. The sudden halt in supply could lead to shortages in local markets and affect milk prices.
Authorities have called for dialogue, but farmers insist on meeting their demands before resuming normal operations. The situation remains fluid as negotiations continue.
