The State-owned Mysore Sugar Company Ltd, or Mysugar, factory in Mandya, which recently commenced crushing operations, is expected to become fully operational by September 30. The factory’s second boiler installation is likely to be completed by September 20.
Minister in-charge of Mandya district K. Gopalaiah has said that the deputy commissioner has given directions to other sugar factories not to engage in harvesting sugarcane that doesn’t come under their jurisdiction. The sugarcane under the jurisdiction of Mysugar factory should not be collected by other factories, he said.
“If the sugarcane belonging to Mysugar factory is found to be transported to other factories, such produce will be seized,” the Minister said, after a recent meeting to review the factory’s operations.
