Destruction caused by pesticide

From 1975 onwards, the pesticide Endosulfan was used for various plantations in Enmakaje without any restrictions or control. This resulted in a huge number of deaths as well as serious injuries. Majority of the 4,000 deaths caused by Endosulfan in the Kasargode District occurred in Enmakaje.[2][3] Padre village in the Enmakaje Panchayath was the most severely affected area, partly because it is surrounded on all sides by cashew nut plantations.[4]
