Growers for representation on sugarcane control boards

17 Dec, 2005

Pakistan Kisan Movement President, Chaudhry Muhammad Ashfaque has said the sugarcane control boards at district level were missing true representation of sugarcane farmers, which is against the spirit of the law.
Addressing a gathering of sugarcane growers here on Friday, Ashfaque said the sugarcane control boards were meant for resolving the issues relating to the crop and growers.
He said the absence of true representation of sugarcane growers in the boards was multiplying the problems of growers and no one is there to take care of them.
He appealed to the Chief Minister Punjab to take notice of the situation and order true representation of sugarcane growers in the boards, like the Punjab government had successfully nominated true sugarcane growers in cess committees in each district of the province.
