MIRPURKHAS: The Sindh Abadgar Board’s Mirpurkhas chapter on Wednesday filed a petition in the Mirpurkhas circuit bench of the Sindh High Court, appealing to the court to direct Sindh government to announce support price of sugar cane and end sugar mills excesses against growers.

SAB Mirpurkhas chapter’s president Haji Mohammad Umer Bughio and his colleagues Haji Hussain Bux Leghari and Mansoor Cheema told media persons at the court after attending hearing of the petition that they had filed the petition to get justice.

They regretted that Sindh government had itself become a party [with sugar mills] and had not yet announced the cane’s support price, thus allowing sugar mills to keep exploiting farmers by compelling them to accept unafvourable rates.—Correspondent
