The Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha and civil society organisations demanded that state government stop immediately, all genetically modified field trials in Karnataka. The organisation, at a press conference here on Monday, demanded that state government, on the lines of Madhya Pradesh and Bihar, write to the Central Government, informing it that they will disallow such trials in the state. A local TV channel and Greenpeace documented the aftermath of a GM field trial by Monsanto last Thursday in the village of Banihatti in Sindagi taluk of Bijapur district and accused the American multinational seed giant of violating biosafety rules.
