Karnataka Chief Minister H D KumaraswamyThursday asked owners of sugar factories to pay the dues to sugarcane growers at the price that was agreed upon at the time of supply.

This was as part of his ongoing efforts to find a solution to the ongoing protest by farmers over the issue.

However, owners who participated in the meeting, convened by the chief minister, sought time to "amicably" resolve the settlement of dues with farmers.

Official sources said the meeting was "inconclusive."
