The Haryana government has announced a joint effort between district administrations and the agriculture department to reduce stubble burning incidents across the state.
The Haryana government has announced a coordinated strategy to curb stubble burning across the state, bringing district administrations and the agriculture department together in a joint effort.
Stubble burning, a common practice after the wheat harvest, releases large amounts of smoke and particulate matter, contributing to severe air pollution during the post‑harvest season.
Under the new plan, district officials will monitor fields for illegal burning, while the agriculture department will supply farmers with guidance and resources to adopt alternative practices.
Officials expect that this collaboration will reduce pollution levels and improve health outcomes for farmers and residents alike.
