Magadi (Ramanagara district): Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has hinted at another imminent hike in the milk prices.

The chief minister was speaking at a programme during the launch of various development works in Magadi in Ramanagara district on Friday.
Siddaramaiah said there also has been a demand that cooperative societies be paid 20 paise per litre of milk.
A decision on this demand will also be taken at the earliest, Siddaramaiah told reporters.
