Low sugarcane prices & pending dues destroying sugar cultivators : Chhina

Amritsar, Aug 22 (UNI) Senior BJP leader Rajinder Mohan Singh Chhina on Sunday hit out at the ruling Congress for blatant lower prices of sugarcane in Punjab, pending dues of the sugarcane growers, leading to massive protest.
The BJP leader said Punjab was offering meager Rs 310 per quintal for the crop while neighbouring Haryana was giving Rs 345 and even Uttar Pradesh and Uttrakhand were doling out Rs 325 each for the past many years.
Demanding at least Rs 400 per quintal for cane as Haryana is already giving Rs 383, Chhina termed the pitiable conditions of the farmers to the lower prices of the sugarcane and while the Centre government was increasing the prices every year, the state of Punjab has not enhanced the prices since 2017.
