Centre urged to revoke order on sugarcane price
Tiruchirapalli, Nov 3 : The Tamizhaga Vivasayigal Sangam today urged the Centre to revoke its order, fixing a uniform price for purchase of sugarcane throughout the country in this season.
In a press release here, Sangam state secretary R Raja Chidambaram said the amendment to the Essential Commodities Act and fixing the Fair and Remunerative Price (FRP) would affect the farmers badly.
The uniform sugarcane price of Rs 1,298 per tonne with 9.5 per cent recovery would affect the growers in a big way, he said.
More than that, as per the amendment, the cane-growers could not seek any legal remedy by moving the court. This would hurt the cane-growers, he stated.
He also said a meeting of the Sangam would be held in Erode on November 16 to discuss further course of action against the Centre's order.
