Greenpeace demands suspension of ongoing genetically modified (GM) trials in India.

"It is noteworthy that this study is beyond the 90 days tests for health impacts prescribed by regulatory authorities in India as well as many other countries," said Rajesh Krishnan, sustainable agriculture campaigner, Greenpeace India.
Currently in India, herbicide tolerant (HT) cotton and HT corn lead other GM crops in the pipeline.
"This study is a warning shot to India as there is an increased usage of herbicides in the country. Given that there is a push by industry and certain sections of the central government for herbicide tolerant GM crops in our country, this usage could go much higher. We demand an immediate suspension of all GM field trials in the country," Krishnan said.
