Tamil Nadu has not formed the committee, according to a government officer in Tamil Nadu familiar with the matter. "There are no proposals either (to form a committee)," added the official who did not wish to be identified. The situation is the same in many other states. According to the Department of Biotechnology data previously published in Mint, in 2005 and 2006 alone, field trials of GM crops were launched in 15 states. And even states that have committees have flouted laws, says an environmental activist.
