[FONT="]The government said that there are 66 pesticides such as DDT and Endosulfan, which are either banned or severely restricted in other countries, but are permitted for use in India as these have been found to be harmless.

[FONT="]“The use has been permitted only after thorough reviews, the particular pesticide does not pose harmful effect under the conditions of use in our country,” the minister of state for chemicals and fertilisers BK Handique told the Rajya Sabha in a written reply. He also informed that the use of these pesticides is banned/restricted in one, two or few countries while their use is permitted in some other countries of the world. The minister said that there are 12 pesticides restricted for use in India, which includes Endosulfan, which is banned in Kerala and monocrotophos, banned from use on vegetables. [/FONT]

[FONT="]The government has also banned 26 pesticides for manufacture, import and use in India, while allowing manufacture of nicotin sulfate and captafol powder from export. “When it comes to the notice of the government that a pesticide is banned in another country, it gets the same reviews for its continued use or otherwise in our country,” he said.

In 2006, the World Health Organization suggested the resumption of the limited use of DDT to fight malaria.[4] They called for the use of DDT to coat the inside walls of houses in areas where mosquitoes are prevalent. Dr. Arata Kochi, WHO's malaria chief, said, "One of the best tools we have against malaria is indoor residual house spraying. Of the dozen insecticides WHO has approved as safe for house spraying, the most effective is DDT."Scientists estimate that DDT and other chemicals in the organophosphate class of pesticides have saved 7 million human lives since 1945 by preventing the transmission of diseases such as malaria, bubonic plague, sleeping sickness, and typhus.
Banned Pesticides Pesticides Banned for manufacture, import and use (25 Nos.)
The effect of pesticides on human health is worst.Due to pesticides there can be number of diseases which are lungs cancer Chronic liver damage cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis, endocrine and reproductive disorders, immuno suppression, cytogenic effects, breast cancer, Non hodkins lymphoma, polyneuritis, etc, etc
MONOCROTOPHOS is big enemy which all of our Agriculture scientists and officers are advising everyday!
Will you accept or protest? Jago re jago for your own health.
