Kalangmalang of the farmers bringing sugarcane to sell. Movement of workers. And the sound of machines. A decade ago, the scene of Sriram Sugar Mill complex located in Garuda Municipality-5 of Rautahat looked like this. But now it is not like before. Deserted factory premises. Vehicles buried in the bush because they are useless. Ruined structures. And machines that have been lying around for years and rusted.

The foundation stone was laid in 2049 and sugarcane crushing started in 2051. At one time, hundreds of farmers from Bara, Parsa and Rautahat used to come to sell sugarcane. This industry meant 16 thousand sugarcane farmers in the district . Because local products used to be sold here .

The management side of the mill owned by the business house Golcha Group has closed the mill from July 10, 2077 citing a loss of crores. With the closure of this mill, which has been in continuous operation for 26 years, 325 seasonal, regular and contractual employees and workers have lost their jobs. 

There is now nothing but silence in the Gulzar industry complex due to sugarcane farmers, employees and traders who buy the produced sugar. Representatives of political parties in the district, sugarcane farmers are in favor of bringing this industry back into operation. But at the moment there is no possibility of re-operation of the industry . The mill cannot be operated in the current situation. Now we have to go to new technology and operate only. For that, crores will be spent," said Ramesh Dahal, the representative of the mill, "There is nothing that will be operational immediately. But if the problem of liability can be solved, the owner is planning to operate in the near future. For this, everything has to be agreed.'
