Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi laid foundation stone of Road Project worth Rs 500 crore funded by Central Road Fund in Yavatmal, Maharashtra.
The report states that Yavatmal has 16 talukas, but only
one post of the district quality control inspector, and even that has been vacant for two years.
But going by GMCH data and the accounts of
the doctors who attended to the patients during the 2017 spraying period, Yavatmal had never seen accidental pesticide poisoning of that magnitude-
when farmers poured into hospitals complaining of vision loss, nausea, dizziness, nervousness, partial paralysis, panic and other symptoms.
