Order banning 5 pesticides issued -Shishir Arya

-The Times of India

NAGPUR: After a question was raised by TOI in a press conference addressed by state agriculture minister Dr Anil Bonde, a notification to impose a temporary ban on five pesticide formulations was issued on Thursday.

The ban will be in force in Amravati division, especially Akola and Yavatmal districts for 60 days.

Bonde had signed the order over a week ago, but the order had not reached the department’s offices down the line. The issue was reported by TOI on September 19, and also pointed out to the minister.

The move comes after over 400 cases of poisoning due to accidental inhalation of pesticide fumes came to fore.

The five pesticides banned had been used by victims in 2017, when 60 persons had died due to poisoning.

The order issued by the department of agriculture says that a proposal to ban the pesticides permanently was submitted to the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee (CIB-RC) on March 27 last year. The central government is still reviewing the proposal. In view of the hazardous nature of the pesticides, and repeated incidents of poisoning, it is an urgent need to ban further sale and distribution during the period of review by central government.
