Yes, Endosulfan victims need rehabilitation and specialized treatment

No doubt, National Human Rights Commission chairman and former Chief Justice of India K.G.Balakrishnan, after visiting various places in Kasaragod district, has observed that specialist hospitals should be set up to take care of the victims of Endosulfan.
A special package should be set up for the rehabilitation and treatment of victims, particularly children.

There should be more palliative care centres to look after the ailing victims.
Justice Balakrishnan also observed that he would impress upon the Agriculture Ministry and the Environment Ministry of the pernicious consequences of use of Endosulfan.

One comment made earlier by noted writer M.T.Vasudevan Nair is noteworthy. He could not stand visiting Endosulfan victims due to the sheer bizarre nature of the deformities suffered by them as impact of Endosulfan use.

We have the responsibililty to safeguard the interests of all, and as Endosulfan and its varieties have adversely impacted human beings to a bizarre level, there should be no hesitation in taking action for the welfare of the people.
