Wheat husk prices have nearly doubled, creating a crisis for Punjab's cow shelters and dairy farmers. The price surge, from ₹400-500 to ₹900-1,200 per quintal, is due to industrial demand from brick kilns and power plants. Wheat husk is a vital cattle feed component. This impacts over 3.15 lakh cows in 524 shelters and threatens dairy livelihoods, prompting calls for government intervention and alternative fuel use by industries.
