The Supreme Court today asked an expert panel appointed by it to explore the possibility of exporting the existing stock of banned pesticide Endosulfan here to other countries.
The apex court, which sought answers on various questions related to Endosulfan, also wanted to know from the expert body, how the quantity of the pesticide after exports could be destroyed without harming the environment.
A bench headed by Chief Justice SH Kapadia asked the the Joint Expert Committee, consisting of the Indian Council Medical Research (ICMR) Director General and the Agricultural Commissioner, to find out the existing stock of the firms producing Endosulfan.
