The Endosulfan victims of Kasaragod district have been facing the cruellest human rights violation in the State, human rights activist Daya Bai has said.
She was speaking after receiving the Ivory Award instituted by Ivory Books at Kerala Sahitya Akademi Hall here on Monday.
“In my 40 years of social service across the country, I have never seen such a helpless society. Twenty years of spraying of poison left thousands of people born with either deformities or mental or physical disorders or other severe health complications. Society and the government shun them mercilessly,” said Daya Bai. She has been working for their rights for a few years now.
