Don't grow sugarcane, it causes diabetes: Yogi Adityanath to farmers

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has advised farmers to grow other crops rather than sugarcane as excessive production of sugar leads to more consumption, and consequently, to diabetes.

"You must start growing other crops besides sugarcane. Excess production of sugarcane leads to its more consumption, which, in turn, causes sugar (diabetes)," said CM Yogi Adityanath to Uttar Pradesh at a road inauguration programme in Baghpat.

Heaping praise on the government for clearing sugarcane dues to the tune of Rs 26,000 crore, Yogi Adityanath said: “We have paid Rs 26,000 crore to sugarcane farmers this year and the remaining Rs 10,000 crore will also be released soon by sugar mills. We have made adequate arrangements for the same.”
