The Himachal Pradesh Cabinet raised assistance under the Milk Incentive Scheme from Rs 3 to Rs 6 per litre. It also directed government departments to buy their milk and milk products from Milkfed. The Cabinet approved the Mukhyamantri Machhuara Sahayata Yojana, which sets a Minimum Support Price of Rs 100 per kilogram for reservoir fish. Where auction prices fall below that level, the state will pay a subsidy of up to Rs 20 per kilogram.
