BELGAUM, JAN. 8. The Karnataka State Co-operative Apex Bank Ltd. (KSCAB) will be lending Rs. 34 crores at nine per cent interest to eight cooperative sugar factories facing financial problems following the decision of the State Government to stand as guarantee for the assistance.

Disclosing this to presspersons here on Saturday, the district in-charge and Minister for Agriculture, Prakash B.

The loan amount will be released after the sugar factories submit an undertaking on repayment with interest within 120 days in six instalments for which schedules have been prepared. It will be deposited in the account that is jointly opened by the factories concerned with the jurisdictional Deputy Commissioner, he added.

Mr. Hukkeri said that the Deputy Commissioner concerned has been directed to send fortnightly reports on sale of sugar and particulars of remittances to the Government.
