KARACHI: The United Human Rights Commission has filed a petition against milk sellers and producers for increasing their prices by Rs10 per kilogramme.

About 0.5 million litres is produced by Karachi cattle pens and dairy farmers are pocketing at least Rs5 million a day with the new price. Milk prices have been raised at least twice in the last three months.

The profit made by milkers in Thatta and Hyderabad is unaccounted for. The bench issued notices to the Sindh Advocate General, DCO/administrator and dairy farmers’ leaders Haji Akhtar and Sikandar Nagori for a date to be fixed later.
