After persistently refusing right to information applications seeking access to the toxicity and allergenicity data relating to genetically modified crops, the Centre on Tuesday agreed before the SC to make these public, much to the joy of anti-GM crop campaigners. The government’s refusal to part with this information had led to petitions filed by NGO ”Gene Campaign” and Aruna Rodrigues, who alleged that the data had vital bearing on the safety of human beings and environs.
