More Indian States appeal Centre not to permit Bt Brinjal

Gujarat Government has appealed to the Centre to defer its move to give approval for commercial farming of Bt Brinjal in the country. ”The Centre should take into account the views of all stakeholders and conduct a long-term research on Bt Brinjal’s bio-safety and its consequent contributions to food security and farmers’ well being,” Gujarat Agriculture Minister Dilip Sanghani told PTI over phone today.
