Plates loaded with pesticides: Survey shows fruit, vegetables are high on chemical content


BANGALORE: Probably it's time to take a closer look at what's on your platter. Cypermethrin, heptachlor, quinalphos, aldrin, chlorodane, dichlorvas, cypermethrin — these banned pesticides could well be a part of your regular diet. Okras, leafy green cabbages and other vegetables, bananas or oranges and apples that you so relish may be overloaded with some of these harmful pesticides.

A study by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India under the Union agriculture ministry threw up some unpalatable facts. Common food items contain banned pesticides in quantities a thousand times more than the permissible limits. The findings are based on random samples collected from across the country.

From the vegetable basket, brinjal tops the chart with the level of banned pesticide at 860% above legal limits, followed by cauliflower and cabbage. Wheat and rice too had these dangerous chemicals. While the level of aldrin in wheat is 21,890 times more than the permissible level, that of chlorfenvinfos in rice was measured at 1,324% above the allowed limit.

Word of caution

According to health experts, if consumed for a prolonged period, these pesticides can prove fatal. "Pesticides are neurotoxins and can affect vital organs like the kidney and liver as well as the endocrine system. Some can cause food poisoning or allergic reactions. They're even more dangerous for pregnant women, passing through the placenta and causing genetic alterations," warns Hema Aravind, chief dietician, MS Ramaiah Memorial Hospital.

An apple a day needn't always keep the doctor away. According to the survey, both apples and oranges were found to have banned pesticide level of 140% above permissible limits. "The fruit are waxed with chemicals and pesticides to give them a longer life. Vegetables like cabbage and cauliflower, which are supposed to be very important for women's health, are dipped in two to three levels of pesticides to keep them fresh. Farming techniques like crop rotation have become a thing of the past," said Hema Sarat, nutrition and wellness adviser.

The solution lies in cleaning them thoroughly and buying from small vendors rather than supermarkets. "Small vendors grow vegetables and fruit on a small scale and not well-versed with the use of chemicals. Smaller the vegetable is in size, more organic it is," said Farhana Afroz, chief nutritionist, HCG Hospital.

"Kitchen gardening is the best solution to keep pesticides at bay. Vegetables can be grown easily in pots, even if you live in an apartment," she added.

Times view

Though the survey findings ring alarm bells, it's practically impossible to do away with fruit and vegetables. Therefore, the next best option would be to exercise as much caution as possible. Simple things like washing them adequately before cooking could remove a lot of the chemical coating, if not all. Kitchen gardening is another option to explore. Also, customers must be wary of getting carried away by glossy packaging. Those spotless apples and oranges may not be as healthy as they appear. For all you know, the rough and rugged ones on the roadside could be a better bet. Regulating authorities should have checks in place to track such gross violation of permissible limits and take necessary action.

Pension from 01 January 2006 rather than 24 September 2012 : Supreme Court dismisses the Review Petition filed by Govt of India


Pension from 01 January 2006 rather than 24 September 2012 : Supreme Court dismisses the Review Petition filedby Govt of India: News as published by Maj Navdeep Singh on his Blog:-

As most would know, the Govt had challenged before the Supreme Court the decision of the Delhi High Courtwherein the judgement by the Central Administrative Tribunal granting benefit of rectification of pensionary anomalies from 01 January 2006 rather than 24 September 2012 was questioned. The order in effect and essence affected all central govt pensioners, including defence pensioners. 

The controversy had emanated from the fact whether the benefits of the correct pension were to flow from 01 Jan 2006 which is the date from which the 6th Central Pay Commission recommendations were implemented or from 24 Sept 2012 when the Govt had decided to remove the anomalies in the pension structure after the said Pay Commission. Of course, it was held by Courts that the removal of the anomalies shall date back to the date of the inception of the said anomalies and not any later artificial date.


Incorrigible as it is, the Govt had gone ahead and filed a Review Petition in the matter urging the Supreme Court to review its order of dismissal of the SLP filed by the Central Govt.

The Supreme Court has yesterday dismissed the Review Petition filed by the Govt in the matter.

Mumbai: Union Law Minister Kapil Sibal released commemorative postage stamps to pay tribute to Sachin Tendulkar on Thursday at Wankhade Stadium, Mumbai before the start of 2nd Cricket Test match between India and West Indies.
 
 
 On Thursday, as Indian and cricket fans got set to see Sachin Tendulkar walk out for his last Test match a postage stamp in honour of Sachin Tendulkar was released. India take on West Indies in Sachin Tendulkar's 200th and final Test at his home ground at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. MS Dhoni won the toss and to the disdain of fans opted to bowl first which meant the fans would have to wait to see the 40-year-old star bat. Milind Deora, Sharad Pawar and Rajeev Shukla took to the ground to release the stamp honouring Sachin Tendulkar ahead of the second Test between India and West Indies. Tendulkar is is the only Indian living person after Mother Teresa to receive this honour, claims Deora.

It is regretted to note that most of the affiliated organistaions and C-O-Cs, have not remitted their quota after the Kolkata National Conference held in May 2013. All Affiliated organistaion are requested to remit their quota to confederation CHQ (Rupee one per member per year) in the following address before 31.12.2013.
