In the UK where the earning power is at least 10 times more than in Pakistan, the price of milk is Rs63 per litre and the milk is of very high quality. However, in Pakistan it is being sold for Rs120 a litre and one can ever be sure of its quality and hygiene.
Why do the authorities in Pakistan not evolve a fair pricing system so that people are spared such deceit? Milk is a very basic and necessary food requirement, especially for children, and the government of Pakistan needs to ensure that the commodity is available at an affordable price to the people. Moreover, skimmed milk in all developed countries is a lot cheaper than the full cream variety because the cream separated from the milk is sold at very high rates as cream or butter, but in Pakistan, skimmed milk costs at least 20 percent more. Very strange and disturbing indeed.
