Sir:
I and the others undersigned are people who are very much concerned about Endosulfan which is still in use in India.Despite being a poison and having caused many human killings,deformation and irreparable ecological imbalances this chemical is still sold in our country.Endosulfan which has been banned across 74 countries in all the continents after elaborate studies.In our own country kerala and karnataka have banned this chemical in their own states after many health and environment issues have come up.
We, the undersigned are demanding our government to bring a nation wide ban on Endosulfan.Also,we would like the Ministry of Environment & Forests to support the International Ban on Endosulfan in the upcoming Stockholm Convention.This would phase out the chemical globally.UNEP science panel Persistent Organic Pollutant Review Committee after three year deliberations finally recomended the pesticide Endosulfan for global ban and listing in Annex A of the Stockholm Convention.We feel your ministry will 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.Also, we as responsible citizens would be keenly watching the stand and proceedings both nationally and internationally till this toxic is phased out.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
