Maharashtra: Who is responsible for the rising death of farmers ?

In Maharashtra, the problem of farmers is not reducing at all, The food givers farmers, due to debt, due to lack of rain, wastage of crops, was forced to commit suicide, but now a new problem Has taken birth. Farmers of Maharashtra are facing untimely death due to pesticides, which are used because insecticides are not wormed in the crop, the same pesticides are kiling farmers.

The Maharashtra government can soon ban five major pesticides for 60 days. Due to pesticides in Yavatmal, the order has been issued by the Fadnavis government to the SIT of 30 farmers’ death.

The five pesticides are being questioned, their names are Profaneophos 40% + Cipramethrin 4% EC, Fephonil 40% + Imidacloprid 40% EC, Acetate 75% SC, Diphenthyron 50% WP and Monocrotophos 36% SL. < / h4>

According to the report of Hindustan Times, the state’s agriculture department has asked the people to advise and intervene before issuing the order of prohibition.However, the question on decision to ban on 60 pesticides on five pesticides arrised. Paromita Goswami, who works for the tribals, said that such restrictions do not work at the ground level.
The reason is that because people do not know which pesticide has been banned. Also, the hope of shutting the use of farmers ‘insecticides is less than just a few days’ restriction.

Akshay Chakraborty, a scientist from the Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, is not too enthusiastic about the two-month restriction. They say that such insecticides should be stopped for long periods of time. A restriction of at least six months must be applied. Then the government should investigate the land where they are used.

Why is it just a matter of banning insecticides for only two months?

Caution or other information about all pesticides is written in English. In this way, the local authorities should tell the farmers about the precautions necessary for their use. But no officer plays this responsibility.

Dangerous Chemical

The pesticides are being talked about, they are extremely dangerous, if they are not used carefully, they can prove to be fatal. Among these, monocrotophos are called the most poisonous and deadly.After spraying on crops it has a long effect. Akshay Chakraborty says that its effect affects the eggs of the peripherals. These are the birds, which are generally helpful to the farmers. This chemical spoils the natural environment, because it comes in water and in the soil. Akshay Chakraborty points out that monochrotophos have been banned from all over the world.

It is the government’s responsibility to make farmers aware of pesticide in the local language. If the government can not do anything for the farmers, then

Who will listen to the problem of farmers?
