Punjab Minister Kuldeep Dhaliwal claims stubble burning down this year

Punjab Rural Development Minister Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal on Monday said that the number of stubble burning incidents in Punjab has decreased since the previous year.

He also reacted to Arvind Kejriwal’s comparison of Manish Sisodia to Bhagat Singh and the NIA raids in Punjab. Dhaliwal said, “The effect of appeal made by Punjab’s government has been shown as compared to the last year, this time in 2020 there were 5,562 stubble burning incidents in Punjab, in 2021 2,389 incidents and in 2022, up till date there have been only 1,447 stubble burning incidents which is very low in comparison.” 

“The death of 2 people in Shahkot of Jalandhar yesterday, is a very sad incident, and we would like to appeal to the farmers to lessen the stubble and the government is bringing new policies to deal with it,” Dhaliwal said.

On Kejriwal linking Sisodia with Bhagat Singh, Dhaliwal said, “he meant that Sisodia is the one who is working on Bhagat Singh’s principles and is following  path of Bhagat Singh.”

The Punjab minister reacted on the ongoing raids of the NIA and said “we are already very serious about law and order and are working to eliminate the gangsters, if any agency of the Centre is willing to work on the issue, we’ll cooperate and will provide all possible help.”
