Demonstrators demand delay in ban to assess scientific evidence and economic impact. FMTNews Thailand Bangkok
BANGKOK: About 2,000 demonstrators marched to Thailand’s Government House on Tuesday to demand a delay in a ban due from Dec 1 on three pesticides, as a dispute over the plan escalates.
Thailand plans to prohibit three pesticides – paraquat, chlorpyrifos and glyphosate – over health risks under a push by a party in the sprawling coalition government. Asked by reporters whether any slip in the Dec 1 deadline would have political ramifications because Bhum Jai Thai ministers could quit, Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said he has to put concerns about health first.“We have to listen to all parties and assess what we can do to create less dispute,” Bhum Jai Thai leader Anutin said.
