Sugarcane farmers have decided to start protest from Monday (December 11) against delay in cane crushing in Punjab, which is yielding negative impact over the agriculture economy. This was announced by a central leader of the Kissan Board Punjab, Ali Ahmad Goriaya, here on Saturday.
Talking to newsmen, he said that the delay in sugarcane crushing and less payment of cane against approved price is a clear cut joint conspiracy of government and sugar mills owners. Farmers are facing difficulties for actual payment of sugarcane at sugar mills in the presence of government's representatives.
Ali Ahmad Goriaya announced that protest rallies will be taken out from Toba Tek Singh, Chiniot, Gojra, Jhang, Tandlianwala, Jaranwala and other cities of the Division.
