Solidarity with sugarcane farmers
January 5, 2020 09:54 am
For more than two weeks sugarcane farmers from Tarai staged protests in Kathmandu against mill owners until the government signed a deal to address all their concerns on Friday. The farmers, who provide raw materials for sugar by selling which the mill owners make huge profits, have not been paid for years. In fact, getting the payment for their products has been a long ordeal for them. They staged protests in their respective districts and drew the attention of the district authorities too.
