Import of Fungus infected Garlic – Supreme Court directs destruction by fire
There is strong risk of this fungus (at present totality absent in India) affecting the future cultivation in India for the reason that the scales of such infected garlic are peeled off for its use, thrown into dust bins as garbage and used a manure. This is one of the ways by which some of the fungus got introduced in countries including India and elsewhere and caused permanent damage to the crops which the agricultural experts found difficult to solve.
The Supreme Court ordered destruction of the infected garlic. And today, we bring you this Supreme Court judgement delivered yesterday. Please see Breaking News.
