The Hindu
‘Several farmers, workers and others facing problems due to the closure’
Former Joint Director of Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) V.V. Lakshminarayana and Lok Satta Party State president Bhisetti Babji on Friday asked the State government to reopen Bhimasingi Sugar factory and other industries immediately to save sugarcane farmers from financial crisis. The Lok Satta Party organised Rythu Mahajana Sabha and all-party meeting at Bhimasingi factory located on Vizianagaram-Kothavalasa route.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Lakshminarayana said the sugarcane farmers were worried with the closure of the factory. “The closure of the factory had made their lives miserable. They don’t know what to do with the standing crop. The immediate opening of the factory will help farmers, factory workers and others who depend on the factory indirectly,” he added.
