Sarlahi, March 6: The Indushankar Sugar Mill, a leading sugar-producing industry in Harion, Sarlahi, has started releasing the pending dues to sugarcane farmers. In the first phase starting from December 27, 2019, to January 24, 2020, Rs 500 million was paid to the farmers, said the company’s manager Yog Narayan Rajak.
Established in 1984, the factor resumed its operation from December 27, 2019. Similarly, Annapurna Sugar Mill at Dhankaul, which is shut now, is yet to provide pending payments to the sugarcane farmers. The government has already released grants to the District Treasury Office for the affected sugarcane farmers.
The grants would be released after the verification of the lands used by the farmers for producing sugarcane, said Chief of the Treasury Office Jagat Thapaliya.
