‘State set to revive Plassey Sugar Mill’
KOLKATA: The state government is all set to revive the Plassey Sugar Mill which has been shut for the past five years. This will help the local farmers get additional income.
Senior officials of the sugar mill factory said that the sugar mill, one of the largest in the state, was a vital source of income for around 3,500 sugarcane farmers who cultivated sugarcane on approximately 1,200 hectares of land. However, the closure of the mill in 2017 left the farmers in dire straits, forcing them to diversify into multiple crops, including paddy, jute, mustard and vegetables. As it is a private organisation, the state government has not yet interfered in the matter.
