The petition raises concerns about the widespread use of toxic pesticides in the country and calls for immediate government intervention to ban or regulate their usage. The petition, driven by health and environmental advocacy groups, highlights the adverse effects of these pesticides on human health, biodiversity, and food safety. It underscores the link between harmful pesticides and rising cases of chronic illnesses, including cancer, and environmental degradation, which affects soil health, water sources, and the broader ecosystem.
