West Bengal: Dairy farmers incur losses during lockdown, spill milk on road in protest in Asansol
Dairy farmers in Asansol's Barabani area staged a protest by spilling milk on the road as they are unable to supply milk and feed their animals amid the coronavirus lockdown.
Speaking to ANI, Vinod Kumar Yadav, a dairy farmer said, "We demand that the government should arrange fodder for our cows and buffalo.
"If the government doesn't step forward to help us, we will be forced to commit suicide. Sweet shops are open here but nobody is buying them so our milk is anyway going waste. We will stage a bigger protest if the Centre and State governments do not help us," he added.
"We do not have anything to eat and give to our cows as well. We are not getting any financial aid. Fodder arrangements should be made for our cows," he added.
