Plea to resume crushing at Alanganallur mill
Bringing relief to sugarcane farmers, the National Cooperative Sugar Mills at Alanganallur near here has announced that a portion of arrears due to them will be settled.
According to a press release from the mill, ₹1.18 crore - the profit for 2008-09 - would be distributed 2,669 farmers. Also, ₹ 10.73 crore, the State Advisory Price and dues for 2015-16, will be distributed to 1,604 farmers. The money will be credited to their bank accounts.
State president of Tamil Nadu Sugarcane Farmers’ Association N. Palanichamy said a sum of ₹7 crore - dues for 2016-17 - were yet to be paid to the farmers. “The government’s announcement of releasing the dues is the result of continuous protests by the farmers,” he said.
