New Delhi, April 28

The Government today said the total number of closed sugar mills in the country has increased to 113 this season from 105 last year. While in a majority of the States, the number of closed sugar mills remained static or rather declined, in Uttar Pradesh, it surged from 14 in 2006-07 to 23 in 2007-08 season, according to the data furnished by the Minister of State for Food and Public Distribution, Mr Akhilesh Prasad Singh, in the Lok Sabha. In a written reply to a query on steps taken by the Government to revive the closed sugar mills, Mr Singh said it was the responsibility of the entrepreneur concerned to take steps. – Our Bureau
