Dear Pankaj Oudhia: Pl. update your web on our activities. We are no
more at New Delhi address: M-120 Greater kailash-1, New Delhi 110
048. We have shifted from there 8 years ago.
This year due to favourable climate condition at the foothill of
Himalaya, Parthenium has spread at an epidemic scale. Last year we
thought we had almsot erradicated it from our area. But it has sprung
jwith vigour alaround us. We have launched ani-Parthenium campaign by
uprooting it by hand. As it is rainy season due to wet soil it is
easy to uproot it. But the plant is flowering and in forest and farm
land it has grown to 2-3' still the flower is not ripe.
Pl. update us on enviorn-friendly method to stop its growth in the
Himalayan region. Fraternalg reetings, Dr. Dhirendra Sharma
