All the claims of curbing the incidents of stubble burning seem to be going in vain. The incidents of stubble burning are increasing rapidly in all the three states of Haryana, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh. The situation is that the record of 2022 has been broken. At the same time, the figures for the year 2021 have also been equalized. The smoke of stubble is once again seen spoiling the air of Delhi-NCR. Every year in Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, there is a trend of burning the remaining part of paddy in the field after the harvest. The smoke rising from stubble burning in the fields, especially in Punjab and Haryana, has been suffocating the National Capital Region. All the measures taken to stop stubble burning have so far proved inadequate.
This year too, incidents of stubble burning started being recorded from September 15. Till September 30, 322 such incidents have been reported.
According to real-time monitoring of the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), the maximum number of 214 cases have been recorded in Punjab so far. Haryana is at second place with 75 cases while Uttar Pradesh is at third place with 33 cases. Recently Punjab and Haryana have submitted their action plan to the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM). In this plan, Punjab has claimed to reduce the incidents of stubble burning by 50 percent this time. At the same time, Haryana had assured of a complete ban.
