Mysore/Mysuru: Demanding a hike in FRP (Fair and Remunerative Price) for sugarcane, farmers will stage an indefinite stir in front of the residence of Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai at Bengaluru from Nov. 22
Addressing a press meet at Jaladarshini Guest House here on Friday, State Sugarcane Growers Association President Kurubur Shantakumar said that several demonstrations were held earlier urging the authorities to address the problems of sugarcane growers, following which CM Bommai had assured of addressing the problems. Even the Sugar Minister had promised ‘sweet news’ on FRP to farmers by Nov.20. But since then, nothing susbstantial had taken place with no announcement on FRP hike, he said. As such there is no choice for sugarcane growers other than staging a stir in front of the CM’s house, he noted.
