Open letter from Indian scientists to the Hon’ble Supreme Court

Open letter from Indian scientists to the Hon’ble Supreme Court [1]

An open letter sent by nearly a hundred Indian scientists to the Supreme Court. They write in support of the report of the Supreme Court's Technical Expert Committee (TEC) calling for a 10 year moratorium on GM field trials while regulation is put in order. The scientists come from across India, and include Vice Chancellors and heads of various scientific institutions and from various specializations, mostly related to the Life Sciences. Most are (or were) associated with institutions connected to DARE (the Department of Agricultural Research And Education), CSIR (India's main R&D body for science and industry), or ICMR (the Indian Council of Medical Research).
