Long power cut around Jajmau

 Recently, Jajmau residents faced a long power cut. It was quite intolerable. Some residents were reportedly sheltered at their relatives' residences in nearby localities. It was definitely a harrowing experience, undoubtedly. People, anyhow, tolerated the worst situation. Such a long-duration power failure in the main localities of the Jajmau area left hapless residents, old ladies, young mothers, and others leaving their homes for relatives' homes, where power supply continued without any disruption.  A totally different scene erupted over a little longer power disruption in Jajmau. There was no clear-cut information about the restoration of the power supply. The residents honestly endured the unsatisfactory situation with the support of an inverter up to 07 a.m.  Certain families moved to their relatives' places to beat the heat.  Even the political leaders kept on asking for the exact timing of the restoration of the normal electricity supply.

Why does stand this disparity in milk prices?

Market watchers see it as a strategic move to basically counter the growing competition in the dairy sector. This is the first time in years that the company has brought down its milk prices after a series of consistent hikes. Some react to the cumin in a camel's mouth. This is surely not a substantive cut.

It looks to be an attempt to stay competitive, particularly following this price cut. Will this step regarding the price cut provide relief to consumers? There remain contradictory reactions to this approach. Some consumers do not see much difference while others would try to switch to this brand to save at least one rupee. Could Amul maintain its position strongly in the market with such a small price reduction?
