Sugarcane farmers seek complete payment

AMBALA: On a call via Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) Haryana and the Kisan Sangharsh Samiti, the sugarcane farmers of the Naraingarh area held a mahapanchayat on the Naraingarh sugar mill in village Banondi in Shahzadpur.

Led via BKU state president Gurnam Singh Charuni, the farmers pressed for motion towards the mill for no longer liberating the pending fee. The farmers sat on the weighing scale to stop the mill from functioning.

Additional deputy commissioner (ADC), Captain Shakti Singh, Naraingarh sub-divisional Justice of the Peace (SDM), Aditi, Naraingarh deputy superintendent of police, Amit Bhatia and the mill management tried to pacify the farmers.

At around 1.30pm, SDM Aditi advised the farmers that the state minister Nayab Singh Saini would meet them at 11am on January 4. But Charuni refused to disperse the crowd and said, “The minister desires to wreck the unity of the farmers, as he is conscious that another day the farmers won't unite on this power once more.”


At around 4.45pm, SDM Aditi advised the farmers that she had talked to the cane commissioner and that the government would release the fee of Rs 11 crore via Thursday to the sugar mill’s account and the mill would release the fee to the farmers within subsequent two days. But Charuni said, “We have received many such assurances. Until we meet prime level officials, we will no longer stand up from the weighing scale.”


Later, at around 6.30 pm, ADC Singh additionally reached the spot and tried to pacify the farmers.


Charuni advised TOI, “The govt assures that it could release Rs 11 crore of the 2017-18 season, however it's not discussing the rest Rs 11 crore from the same season and in addition not anything about the fee of nearly Rs 78 crore of the 2018-19 season. I have received a call from the agriculture minister O P Dhankar, who said that they will release the fee of Rs 11 crore via Thursday. But we aren't getting up from the size. The management has assured us a gathering on Thursday at 3pm with the state minister Nayab Singh Saini, cane commissioner and the sugar mill proprietor. We will speak about the subject of liberating all of the fee of the farmers, which is nearly Rs 100 crore.”


ADC Singh advised TOI, “The farmers have been advised that Rs 11 crore shall be launched via Thursday, however they didn't pay attention and remained adamant to meet the homeowners of the sugar mill. We have organized a gathering of the farmers with the mill’s proprietor on Thursday at three pm. As of now, the farmers are sitting within the mill.”
