Protesters milk the attention

Indian milkmen pour milk on their leaders during a protest calling for fairer prices for producers in New Delhi, India, yesterday.

The milkmen have been protesting against the decision of dairy companies to reduce the price they pay for milk and are demanding a minimum support price for milk procurement.

Demonstrations over pricing have taken place across western Uttar Pradesh and Punjab and have included supplies being given away free to children and local government officials to highlight the pricing gap that producers say does not provide them with enough to cover the cost of fodder.
