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. Padre village in the Enmakaje Panchayath was the most severely affected area, partly because it is surrounded on all sides by cashew nut plantations.
