The effects of the pesticide on human beings, witnessed in Kasaragod districts, were mainly due to the mode of application, ie aerial spraying on cashew plantations, on wednesday 17th November,2010. Mr Ramesh said Endosulfn was a human issue and not a political one. Some countries such as the united states had banned it, whereas many countries could not do so.
The Kerala government has requested the centre to ban Endosulfan Nation wide as its use had caused much misery to the people. Endosulfan had been banned including Brazil and U.S.

Aerial spraying has been banned in India since the past 10 years, then how has kerala been using it. Moreover, Endosulfan has been banned in Kerala for past 7 odd years, then why are still reports of victims dying due to 'recent exposure to Endosulfan'?
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT. THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD BAN ENDOSULFAN
there are no higher incidence of any disease in kasaragod. it is all media hype. the health department could not come up with a statistics in comparison with the national avaerage of disease incidence till date- after 12 long years. IT IS GREAT ENDOSULFAN SCAM- LIKE THE OLD ISRO SPY SCANDAL
