The Sect. CIB&RC on Dec. 21st uploaded a draft circular to declare the CIB&RC as the country’s National Authority Controlling Registration/Regulatory Affairs for pesticides in agriculture and public health. This is looked upon to facilitate export of pesticides. On a request by PMFAI, the Registration Committee in its 423rd meeting considered PMFAIs request and decided to float a public notice on the same inviting comments. Comments are invited within a period of 30 days.
