Chandigarh: Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has directed the officers to focus on increasing the income of Karnal Sugar Mill. Along with this project, the project of making jaggery and 'shakkar' will also begin at the earliest. Apart from this, the work of installation of a yard, shed, solar plant, boundary wall and CCTV cameras should also be completed soon.
The Chief Minister was interacting with the Board of Directors of Sugar Mill Board, farmers and office bearers of Bharatiya Kisan Union at Karnal Cooperative Sugar Mill located on Meerut Road. He reviewed the development works and discussed the progress report with the officers.
At the meeting, the Chief Minister also reviewed the preparations for the upcoming crushing session. During the meeting the Chief Minister was apprised that the families of 2650 farmers of 137 villages are associated with the sugar mill. In this sugar mill, a target has been set to crush 58 lakh quintals of sugarcane along with ensuring a recovery rate of 10 percent of sugarcane. The Chief Minister said that efforts should be made to run this mill at par. Continuous efforts are being made by the government to provide all facilities to the farmers and labourers in the sugar mills.
Manohar Lal said that the profit of sugar mills cannot be increased by making sugar, therefore, additional resources are being focused on the sugar mills. Keeping this subject in mind, a project of 120 KLPD will be set up which will significantly benefit the sugar mill. Along with this, jaggery and 'shakkar' will also be made soon in Karnal Sugar Mill. He has given directions to build a yard, shed, solar plant, boundary wall and installation of CCTV cameras in the sugar mill, fulfilling the demand of the directors of the board and the farmers. The Chief Minister extended best wishes to the sugar mill officers for securing first place in the state in technical efficiency of Karnal Sugar Mill. He said that in the coming crushing session, the farmers, labourers, board directors and union officials will work together so that the sugar mill operations could be improved and income of the mill can be increased.
