d. Scroll to the bottom of the page and read some comments. Choose ONE comment, share it in the discussion, and say if you agree with it or not, and explain BRIEFLY your answer.

Answer 1

a) The throwing away of milk is definitely a demand issue. The demand of the milk reduced tremendously in the last few months. Many users of milk like restaurant were closed so the demand was not as before.

b) No, the farmers are not to be blamed for throwing away of milk. They had to milk their animals to maintain their health and to earn their livelihood.

c) Government could have done many things , but the one thing that it could have done the most is that it could have purc hased the milk from farmers and sold it to the customers through ration shops.

d) The comment I found most intriguing was "Farmers milked more"

I certainly do not agree with this comment as farmers did what they had to do to maintain their life and earn their livelihood.
