Sugar mills in Badin district have reduced sugarcane rate to Rs 55 per 40 kilograms from Rs 67 fixed by government, violating rules and regulations. PPI had learnt on Monday that millers slashed prices seeing huge arrival of sugarcane.
Tractor trolleys loaded with sugarcane have to wait some 36 hours for offloading at the mills, providing a chance to the millers to exploit the farmers.
