Bidar cane farmers up in arms over payment delay

Bidar (Karnataka), June 14 (UNI) Sugarcane farmers in Bidar are protesting against sugar mills and district authorities for failing to pay dues that have been pending for several months. Despite supplying their crop long ago, farmers have not received any payment, causing severe financial distress.
The protests reflect a wider crisis across Karnataka, where mills have delayed payments in violation of the legal 15-day payment mandate. Farmers have warned of intensifying their agitation, including possible road and highway blockades, if immediate action is not taken.
On Saturday, hundreds of farmers staged demonstrations in Bidar, alleging that despite a bumper crop and timely supply to sugar mills during the last crushing season, not a single rupee has been credited to their accounts even after six months.
