KHAIRPUR, Feb 3: The sugarcane growers of Sobhodero, Gambat, Kingri and other Talukas continued to protest for the second consecutive day on Monday in their respective towns against the management of the Ranipur and Khairpur sugar mills.

The sugarcane growers told newsmen that the management of the Ranipur and Khairpur sugar mills had refused to issue indents for sugarcane harvested four days back, which was still lying in the fields, due to which it was drying up and loosing weight.

The growers belonged to Jado Wahan, Razidero, Agra, Drib Mehar Shah, Kulab Jial, Ahmedpur, Khuhra, and Ripri.
