Power crisis hits hard Gur producers
The undeclared power cuts have become a big hurdle for the Gur producing farmers in the district.

Most of the farmers want to produce Gur to avoid facing problems of selling sugarcane to the sugar mills. However, their problems are compounded because of power crisis.

The farmers incur financial losses by using diesel engine for crushing sugarcanes and consequentially in producing Gur. Besides, their sugarcane crops are drying up at their field because of the ending winter season. The farmers have to face financial loss in both ways so they want that proper power supply should be provided to them.

A farmer Hulkar Thakur, resident of Dhuvghat village, said the sugar mills owners are exploiting the farmers. They are not providing vehicles and team to the farmers for cutting sugarcanes in time. Supply receipts are also not being provided to them, he said.

The farmers avoiding such problems had decided to produce Gur but they are facing difficulties because of the power crisis. Thakur said if the farmers do not get power supply, they would be forced to sell their produce for nominal rates or to burn the sugarcane crops in the fields.
