Another price hike? This is getting really tough for middle class families. Milk is a daily essential, not a luxury item. The government should step in to regulate these frequent increases.

I understand the heatwave situation, but Rs 2 hike seems steep. Maybe they could have done it in phases? Our monthly grocery budget is already stretched thin 😔

The farmers must be getting better prices at least! If this helps our dairy farmers survive the tough summer, I'm okay paying a little extra. Support local agriculture! 👍

I appreciate Mother Dairy being transparent about the reasons. The heatwave has been brutal this year - saw reports of cattle suffering too. Hope this is temporary!

While I understand cost pressures, Mother Dairy's quality has been inconsistent lately. At these prices, we deserve better quality control. The last packet I bought had a weird aftertaste.

Time to consider alternatives! Local milk vendors in my area are still offering better prices. Plus, it supports small businesses directly 🐄
