The Central Agency for Quality Management (CAQM) has issued a directive for the assessment of stubble burning sites in Punjab. This move aims to monitor and manage the agricultural practice that contributes significantly to regional air pollution.
The assessment is intended to identify specific locations where crop residue is being burned. By targeting these sites, authorities hope to implement more effective control measures and reduce the environmental impact in the region.
This action underscores the ongoing efforts by central agencies to address air quality issues in northern India, particularly during the post-harvest season in Punjab.
