Taking exception to the charges levied on farmers for harvesting sugarcane and transporting it to the sugar mill, Labour Minister Santosh Lad has asked the officials of Parry Sugars in Haliyal to reduce the charges.
He was chairing a grievance redressal meeting of sugarcane growers in Dharwad on Saturday.
The Minister said that the factory was levying excess charges for harvesting and transporting sugarcane to the farmers in Kalaghatagi, Alnavar and Dharwad rural area, which had consequently affected the farmers adversely.
