- •The Mathura sugar mill in Chhata Assembly constituency remains a perennial election issue, used by politicians to garner votes.
- •Once a thriving center for sugarcane cultivation, the mill's closure led to the cessation of sugarcane farming in Mathura.
- •Farmers hoped for the mill's restart under the Yogi government, especially after Chhata MLA Chaudhary Laxmi Narayan became Sugarcane Development Minister.
- •Despite a DPR proposal and budget allocation in 2022, the tender process for the DPR remains incomplete after three years.
- •The mill, established in 1975 and operationalized in 1978, once served 46,000 farmers but is now a victim of political neglect.
