The Karnataka Rajya Kabbu Belegarara Sangh allege that 30-35 sugar factories in North Karnataka have not cleared the bills for the cane supplied during the last crushing season in 2010-11.
According to the Sangha President, Mr Kurubru Shantukumar, 18 factories in Belgaum owed nearly Rs 830 crore to farmers. Similarly, in Bagalkot district 10 sugar factories owed Rs 900 crore.
“In other neighbouring districts too, the factories had not yet paid the full amount and had held back nearly Rs 100 crore,” he alleged.
