They have been overloaded with the work of searching cane harvesters and bring them for cane harvesting when it is the actual responsibility of the sugar mills. Most of the time the transporters face difficulty as harvesters take advance and don’t turn up for harvesting work. And despite this, they work.”
They have also demanded the clear water and place for them to reside in the premises of the sugar mills
