Support Ban of Endosulfan.
We are going to witness yet another Stockholm Convention meet in Geneva from April 25 to 29 to discuss, among other things, a global ban on the pesticide endosulfan.Eighty-one countries had either banned Endosulfan or decided to phase out its use. It is apparent that India iwill be in one side and Kerala in other corner in this matter if the things progress like this.
Central Government intentionally closing their eyes before the victims of endosulfan in Kasarkod due to the reason - India exports about 50 per cent of its production of endosulfan. It is sure that the manufacturers are pressing the Union government to oppose the move for a global ban. They say that the ban would deprive the farmers of a cheap and effective broad spectrum pesticide.
But as people from Kerala, We can't close our eyes before the pathetic plight of thousands of children and their families in Kasargod and the move of Government to go with 'no ban attitude' in favor of manufactures. It is our duty to ensure that the ministry does not succumb to the pressure of corporate lobby,as the chemical corporations are much worried about their profit than the safety of farm workers and consumers.
Let's raise our voie for a common cause.
Let us join together and fight to eliminate it completely from India!
Eagerly looking to witness a positive shift of Government decision toward endodulfn.
