Endosulfan ‘victim’ dead: Staff Reporter KASARAGOD: A nine-year-old girl, Jumaila, allegedly a victim of Endosulfan, died on Monday after years of treatment. Jumaila, the youngest daughter of N. Muhammad, a resident of Bevincha, Chengala, had been on artificial respiration for the last few days. The family was living at Muliyar near the Plantation Corporation estate where spraying of Endosulfan was held when Jumaila was born. Jumaila began to show symptoms of Endosulfan poisoning when she was six months old. Her bones lost their strength and growth became stunted. Her father, an agricultural labourer, was finding it very difficult to find funds for her treatment. The neighbours of the family said Jumaila did not get benefit from the relief fund announced by the State Government for Endosulfan victims
