Muzaffarnagar (Uttar Pradesh): Inaugurating the ‘Gram Parikrama Yatra’ from Shuktirth Bangar on Monday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath engaged with beneficiaries of various government schemes, highlighting that over 99 per cent of last year’s sugarcane price has been paid.
“Out of the 119 sugar mills operational in the state, 105 are settling payments to sugarcane farmers within ten days. We are exerting pressure on the remaining mills. The double-engine government is steadfast in ensuring that hardworking ‘Annadata’ farmers receive their dues promptly,” remarked the CM.
He said that today Muzaffarnagar is being recognized because of its organic jaggery. “The sweetness of our jaggery resonates not only across the state but also nationwide and globally,” he added.
CM Yogi said that the main reason for the formation of the BJP government in the state is the farmers who provide food. “Farmers are first on our agenda”, he asserted.
