The Supreme Court on August 5 gave a three week extension to the Joint Committee to submit its interim report on the possibility of exports or disposal off the existing stocks of endosulfan.
The interim ban imposed on May 13 on the manufacture, use, sale and export of endosulfan will, however, continue. The joint committee comprising Director General Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and Agriculture Commissioner was formed the same day to prepare a report on the harmful effects of endosulfan.
