Technical officials of the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock and its attached departments have failed to give a timeframe for making available Bacillus Thuringiensis (Bt) cotton variety for its plantation in the coming Kharif season. The stunning disclosure was made before the Standing Committee on Food, Agriculture and Livestock in a meeting with Makhdoom Ahmed Alam Anwar in the chair on Saturday. ”No variety of Bt cotton will be allowed to dodge the criterion laid down for regular release of Genetically Modified (GM) plant varieties,” said an official of Punjab Seed Council.
