There is no justification for the central government to delay ban on use of Endosulfan, which has caused innumerable diseases to thousands of people and whose lives have become a continuous suffering.

Endosulfan, a strong pesticide, is mainly used in the cashew cultivating areas, like Kasargode in Kerala. India produces about 9000 tons of endosulfan and half of it is being used in India itself. In Kasargode area, thousands of children as well as old people are affected by this pesticide which adversely affects growth, maims and result in all kinds of diseases.
