Health Minister wants to ban rat poison paste to prevent suicides: Today our health minister VijayBaskar came up with an excellent idea of banning rat poison paste to prevent suicides in Tamil Nadu. He said many suicides have been reported due to consuming rat poison paste. And hence to avoid in future of any such suicides, he said that the rat poison paste would be banned in Tamil Nadu soon.
Why did the health minister want to ban rat poison paste?
The rat poison paste, which is manufactured and sold to kill rats in fields and houses, contains a complicated formula. Hence, it becomes difficult for even renowned physicians to save persons who have consumed rat poison paste. Also, because of Rat Poison easy availability in the nook and corner of the state, it is easily bought and consumed by those who want to commit suicide.
Hence the Health minister has recommended the ban to the Chief Minister Edapadi K Palanisamy. Since it is multi-department decision to ban such things, it needs the Chief Minister approval to ban rat poison paste. Of late the Chief Minister is doing a lot of people saving and favouring steps fast and hence will soon ban this dangerous substance.
