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.{{Cite web |url=http://endosulfanvictims.com/no-end-to-endosulfan-tragedy-in-karala-kasaragod-281.html |title=NO END TO ENDOSULFAN TRAGEDY IN KARALA-KASARAGOD | Endosulfan Victims |access-date=30 April 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110421002030/http://endosulfanvictims.com/no-end-to-endosulfan-tragedy-in-karala-kasaragod-281.html |archive-date=21 April 2011 |url-status=dead }}{{Cite web |url=http://www.nalanda.nitc.ac.in/environmental_study/Effect_of_endosulfan.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=30 April 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110304163355/http://www.nalanda.nitc.ac.in/environmental_study/Effect_of_endosulfan.pdf |archive-date=4 March 2011 |url-status=dead }} Padre village in the Enmakaje Panchayath was the most severely affected area, partly because it is surrounded on all sides by cashew nut plantations.[http://www.healtoxics.org/cbm/endo_ind.htm :Heal Toxics:]
