In an effort to discourage farmers from burning crop residue, the Haryana agriculture department has implemented strict measures

The Delhi Chief Minister highlighted the success of AAP-ruled Punjab, stating that in 2021, before the AAP government was formed, Punjab recorded 71,300 stubble-burning incidents. However, by 2023, this number was halved to 36,600. She attributed this reduction to the AAP's sustained efforts over two years.

Delhi Chief Minister Atishi also blamed stubble-burning, diesel buses, and brick kilns in Haryana where the BJP is in power. However, she gave a clean chit to AAP-ruled Punjab. She blamed BJP’s “dirty politics” for growing pollution in the national capital region.

A new study reveals how stubble burning in Punjab and Haryana affects Delhi's air quality. Despite a decrease in farm fires, Delhi's AQI remains critically high, highlighting the need for comprehensive interventions and public awareness to tackle air pollution effectively.

Both states are pivotal regions linked to stubble burning, which has notably affected air quality in Delhi, especially during the post-monsoon season.
