Chief Minister Siddaramaiah held a meeting with various farmer organisation leaders at Suvarna Soudha, assuring them that the government is committed to resolving the issues raised by sugarcane growers and other farming communities. He noted that the government is already providing a ₹5-per-litre milk incentive, amounting to nearly ₹5 crore per day, and has initiated measures to ensure scientific sugarcane yield assessment to prevent malpractice in sugar factories.
