Meerut: The District Magistrate on Tuesday reviewed pending sugarcane payments owed by sugar mills for the 2025–26 crushing season, expressing strong displeasure over the dues at Kinauni sugar mill, Dainik Bhaskar reported.
He directed the mill’s management to clear all outstanding sugarcane payments and contributions within a week.
