“Government is working to make cooperative sugar mills profitable and to ensure that the sugarcane of the farmer does not remain in the field till March-April,” said Dhaliwal.
“The state government has helped mills to clear pending cane dues of the farmers and at present not a single penny of the farmers is left with the cooperative mills,” he added.
