Panel Urges Stricter Rules to Combat Fake Pesticides

Imagine farmers are using fake medicine for their plants (pesticides), which doesn't work and can even hurt the plants and the environment.

A group of people in the government (a parliamentary panel) is worried about this.

They found that many of these fake pesticides are being sold, and the people selling them aren't being punished enough.

They want to make the rules stricter, with bigger fines for those who sell fake pesticides.

They also want to make sure more people are checking these pesticides and testing them to make sure they are good quality.

The goal is to protect farmers and ensure that the products used on farms are safe and effective.
