Andhra Pradesh: Clear dues of sugarcane farmers, JSP urges government

The Jana Sena Party (JSP) has accused the YSRCP government of not clearing the dues of thousands of farmers who have supplied sugarcane to NCS Sugars located at Latchayyapeta in Parvatipuram Manyam district.

In a release on Tuesday, JSP leaders leaders Chandaka Anil and Vangala Dalinaidu alleged that the government had auctioned the lands of the sugar factory for the purpose of clearing the farmers’ dues, but failed to do so.

“The government received cheques from the successful bidders in the auction. But the amount is not being paid to the farmers. The government should take steps to clear all dues. Otherwise, we will stage protests over the issue,” said Mr. Dalinaidu.
