KASARAGOD, JULY 5. Even as the State Government has banned the spraying of Endosulfan in the plantation areas in the State, Kasaragod in particular, the pesticide has claimed one more life. A two-year-old boy, Jayakrishnan, of an Adivasi family living near the plantation area of the Kerala State Plantation Corporation in Periya, near here, died at the district hospital in Kanhangad on Saturday night. He had been admitted to the hospital on Friday in a serious condition. The victim, son of Krishnan and Shylaja of the Chalingal Malathumpara Scheduled Tribe Colony, near Periya, was physically challenged since birth. The boy had been identified as a victim of the pesticide during a medical camp organised by the district panchayat as part of its initiatives to treat and rehabilitate Endosulfan victims.
