Amroha, Uttar Pradesh: In a recent meeting organized by the Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU) Tikait, farmers demanded that the government announce a price of Rs 450 per quintal for sugarcane for the current crushing season, reported Amar Ujala.
The BKU Tikait meeting took place on Tuesday at the block complex. Former state vice-president Alok Kumar highlighted that the sugarcane crushing season had already begun.
