Sugarcane growers should be compensated for their loss : Sukhbir

Gidderbaha, Aug 24 (UNI) Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) President Sukhbir Singh Badal on Tuesday asked Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh to compensate sugarcane growers for the loss suffered by them due to the State government’s refusal to increase the State Assured Price (SAP) for sugarcane for four years by hiking the SAP to a minimum of Rs 380 per quintal.
He also demanded that all cases registered against farmers on account of stubble burning be withdrawn immediately.
Addressing the gatherings here as part of the Gal Punjab Di campaign, the SAD President said “now that the Congress government has not taken on account the Rs 1,000 crore loss suffered by them due to low SAP vis a vis Haryana and Uttar Pradesh for four years, the next SAD- BSP government would raise the cane SAP to a minimum of Rs 380 per quintal”.
