London, Feb 14 (AFP) Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock and chief executive Ken Choo will attend Argentine footballer Emiliano Sala's funeral in his home town on Saturday, the English Premier league club that signed him shortly before his death told AFP.

Their attendance was confirmed by club spokesman Mark Denham in an email on Thursday.

The 28-year-old had signed for Cardiff City and was flying to his new team from his old club Nantes in France when his light aircraft went missing over the Channel on January 21.

The striker's body was recovered last week but pilot David Ibbotson is still missing. The plane remains under the sea.

Sala's body is due to be returned to Argentina on Friday, the mayor of his hometown of Progreso had earlier told AFP.

An inquest in England concluded that the footballer died of "head and trunk injuries" and an investigation into the incident is ongoing. (AFP) AH AH 02141900 NNNNed upward by Rs 2 per kg following the direction from the committee of secretaries, he added.

In the last few years, the government has taken several measures to help cash-starved mills clear cane dues. These include increase in import duty on sugar to 100 per cent, scrapping of export duty, creation of buffer stock, and subsidy for mandatory export of 5 million tonnes in the 2018-19 marketing year.

The Centre is also giving loans at subsidised interest rates for setting up of ethanol capacity.

As per the Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA), sugar production rose 8 per cent to 185 lakh tonnes in the first four months of this marketing year ending September.

The production, however, is estimated to decline to 307 lakh tonnes in 2018-19 marketing year (October-September) from record 325 lakh tonnes in the previous year, it added.
