Sugarcane farmers, who are associated with the Bilai sugar mill, are opposing the mill’s efforts to conduct a survey of cane fields for the upcoming crushing season, reports Amar Ujala.
The farmers are demanding that the mill first clear the pending cane dues before proceeding with the survey. Members of the Bhartiya Kisan Union, representing the farmers, intervened when a team of officials arrived to conduct the survey, stating that they would not allow it until their dues were paid.
Mill officials arrived at the spot and instructed the team to refrain from surveying without the approval of the cane farmers. Chaudhari Nitin Sirohi, the district unit head of the Bhartiya Kisan Union, stated that the farmers have informed the district cane officer about their refusal to permit the Bilai sugar mill from conducting the cane field survey.
