The Event 142 variety of genetically modified brinjal was quietly given approval without any data in the public domain, claim experts

Experts have slammed a recent move of the Genetic Engineering Appraisal Committee (GEAC) — a government-appointed committee responsible for appraisal of proposals of genetically engineered organisms — giving its greenlight for biosafety research-level-II (BRL-II) field trials for Event 142, a new variety of genetically modified brinjal (Bt brinjal) during its 139th meeting May 19, 2020.

The experts have alleged regulatory lapses over giving such an approval. Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal are now allowed to conduct trials for Event 142. This variety was developed by Polumetla Anand Kumar and the National Research Centre for Plant Biotechnology of the Indian Agriculture Research Institute.
