It has also decided to reduce price of a kilogram of milk powder by Rs. 25.

The simple answer is that the Nestlé mafia have asked for this as they control virtually all of the milk powder market and only worried about their bottom line.And the question you have to ask is why the Minister for Development Strategy getting involved for in recommending this to cabinet?

The reduction in milk powder looks like a distraction to counteract the gas price rise. The milk powder will rise very soon by more than the Rs 25. Looks like the race to the bottom is gathering pace and soon ......dread to speculate.
