NEW DELHI: Conflict of interest in the sub-committee, lack of any health safety expert on the panel, and inadequate data on additional studies on bio-safety are some of the issues raised by an anti-GM body on the government’s recent proposal to clear genetically-modified (GM) mustard.
At a press conference here on Thursday, The Coalition for a GM-Free India alleged that the processes adopted by the government before calling for public comments on the proposal to give the food crop a go-ahead are “hasty.”
