Delhi HC stays govt order limiting use of herbicide glyphosate for 3 months -Sanjeeb Mukherjee

Directs Centre to review decision with all stakeholders in the interim and come out with a solution

In its order, the court also directed the Centre to review the decision with all stakeholders in the interim and come out with a solution, during which time the notification ‘restricting’ the use of glyphosate will remain non-operational.

Last month, the Central government had formally restricted the use of the controversial but widely-used herbicide, fearing health hazards and risks to human beings and animals.

Glyphosate was henceforth allowed to be applied only through PCOs, who are licensed to use deadly chemicals for treating rodents and other pests.
