Lahore [Pakistan], May 19 (ANI): Farmers in Pakistan have slammed the passage of a new law controlling sugar factories, saying that their rights have been compromised in the amendment act in contrast to what they were provided in last year s ordinance.
According to Dawn, Punjab s agriculture department said they were not made a part of the law-making process as the Sugar Factories (Control) (Amendment) Act 2021 was passed on May 4 by the provincial Assembly.
The new act has fixed November 30 as the last date for starting the sugarcane crushing season while the ordinance had empowered the government to give a date for the purpose.
