This type of protest is going on for about a week now with a request and threatening that they would try to march towards the state secretariat, Chennai. The farmers and other labourers were helped by the bankers to buy the milk-yielding cows and buffaloes and sell the milk through the cooperative milk Societies.
But alas! The Societies have refused to procure milk on the ground that they have no facilities to process it and sell through their retail outlets.
Prime Minister keeps talking to the farmers over radio network promising all sorts of help. The state governments encourage the people to increase their income through dairies but with no planning to help them in marketing.
Who is at fault? Who has failed to ensure succour to those self-employed people in the agrarian economy? Why such a gap between promise and performance. It is sickening that the government machinery seems to be quite insensitive to such an issue.
