Stubble Burning Cases in Punjab Latest News: Stubble burning in Punjab, a notorious contributor to air pollution, continues to be a pressing concern, with 7,454 cases reported in the state during the month of October. Although these figures represent a decrease compared to previous years, the escalating pollution levels are a matter of growing apprehension. Data from the Corporation Residue Burning Information and Management System reveals that, in the last three days alone, 5,359 cases of stubble burning have been registered.
NHRC, slamming Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Punjab government, said that farmers can not be blamed as they are not forced to burn stubble due to the failure of the four states.
The Lieutenant Governor cited data that said stubble burning had spiked 19 per cent between October 24 and November 2 from the corresponding period in 2021.
