Pilibhit: The state’s Sugarcane and Sugar Commissioner, Pramod Kumar Upadhyay, has directed district-level sugarcane officers to complete the ongoing sugarcane survey work by June 30 in preparation for the 2025–26 crushing season, reported Live Hindustan.
Currently, 95% of the survey work in the district has been completed. The GPS-based survey is being jointly conducted by the Sugarcane Development Department and sugar mills across the region, including LH Sugar Mill Pilibhit, Kisan Cooperative Sugar Mills in Puranpur and Bisalpur, and Bajaj Hindusthan Sugar Mill in Barkhera.
