F.P. Report

BAHAWALPUR: Provincial Minister for Agriculture Naeem Akhtar Bhabha has said that uninterrupted issuing of permits and purchase of sugarcane at the rate of Rs 180 per 40 kilograms would be ensured and no unfair deduction in prices would be tolerated.

While addressing a meeting at Commissioner Officer Bahawalpur he said that Kisan Package of worth Rs 100 billion by Chief Minister Punjab is evident of his pro-farmer policies.

He asked representatives of farmers to avoid blocking traffic while transporting the sugarcane. Commissioner Bahawalpur Division Capt (retd) Saqib Zafar said that it would be made certain that sugarcane grown near sugar mills that have been closed also gets sold out by enhancing crushing capacity and permit limit of operational sugar mills.

Deputy Commissioner Bahawalpur Rana M. Saleem Afzal told the meeting that eight permit points have been set up in the district from where 660 permits for sugarcane sale are issued daily.
