2011 Ahead of an international convention in Switzerland, Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan said the state will observe anti-endosulfan day on April 25.
The announcement comes a day after the main opposition Congress urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to ensure that India supports the global ban on endosulphan at the Stockholm Convention on persistent organic pollutants to be held in Geneva April 25-29.
"The long standing request of a financial assistance and a rehabilitation package for the victims of endosulfan is yet to be granted by the centre. We are now told a new study team from Delhi is to arrive in the affected areas. In the past one decade several studies have been conducted. This is not acceptable and deplorable that yet another team is coming," said Achuthanandan.
