Five major mills, such as Balrampur Chini, Bajaj Hindustan, Dharmpur Sugar, DCM Shriram and Dwarakesh Sugar have informed the Stock Exchanges that they have issued suspension notice to UP Chief Secretary, the Cane Commissioner and Principal Secretary (Sugar) that they will not start cane crushing when it starts in November this year, unless the government implements the Rangarajan Committee\'s recommendations.
