Mandya DC Orders Timely Payments to Sugarcane Farmers
The government in Mandya is telling sugar factories they must pay farmers quickly, within 15 days, after they give the factories sugarcane.
This is because some farmers had to wait too long for their money before.
The factories also need to get permission to start crushing sugarcane, like a license.
They have to provide workers with basic needs like water and bathrooms, and inform workers about the spread of diseases.
If everyone follows the rules, things should be much better this year.
Mandya DC mandates sugar factories to pay farmers within 15 days.
The order follows complaints about delayed payments from the previous year.
Factories must adhere to crushing season start dates set by the Sugar Commissioner.
Factories must provide basic amenities, including drinking water and toilets for workers.
Factories must obtain renewal certificates to operate during the crushing season.
