Minister for cooperation Chandrakant Patil informed the state assembly that sugar commissioner office has issued notices to as many as 28 sugar factories. He was responding to call attention motion raised by Chagan Bhujbal, Sunil Prabhu, Balasaheb Horat, Jitendra Avhad and others.
Patil informed that the farmers' organizations have agreed for a payment of 80 per cent of the FRP as first installment during the current crushing season i.e. 2015-16. "It is mandatory as per constitutional provisions to make payment towards FRP dues within 15 days of crushing. Out of total dues of Rs646 crore towards FRP for the last season, Rs300 crore have been paid by a few factories last week," said Patil.
"There are 130 sugar factories which have paid FRP and there are 71 sugar factories which have given an affidavit that they would pay the dues towards FRP in a month. Out of these there are 28 sugar factories which have been given notices that their crushing licences would be cancelled. The government would suspend the licences in coming days if the dues towards FRP are not paid," he added.
