Mysugar factory’s crushing season begins in Mandya

The crushing operations at the State-owned Mysore Sugar Company or Mysugar factory got off to a start in Mandya on Friday with Minister in-charge of Mandya district N. Cheluvarayaswamy and Sugar Minister Shivananda Patil inaugurating the process.

After a special puja at the factory, the dignitaries prayed for the smooth crushing season at the factory which has been restored to its past glory, bringing smiles back on the faces of farmers in the district.

While thanking Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar for allocating funds to the factory’s revival, Mr. Cheluvarayaswamy, who is Minister for Agriculture, said the government was supporting the factory for the welfare of Mandya farmers. “A sum of ₹50 crore has been released and there are no hurdles for the smooth operations of the factory. The full-fledged crushing season will commence by June-end,” he added.
