Kasargod: The mothers of several Endosulfan victims of Kasargod district staged a National Highway block agitation near the Kasargod new bus stand on February 25, Monday demanding a good compensation and rehabilitation package for the victims of the deadly Endosulfan pesticide. The protest was also organised to oppose the government decision to suspend the relief measures after five years.

Even the hunger strike being staged by activists and members of agitated families is continuing since February 18. Though one person has taken ill, he has refused to be hospitalized.

Earlier the road block agitation was inaugurated by Muneesa, a victim of Endosulfan which claimed her eyesight.
