Punjab Stubble Burning: 5,785 Farm Fires This Season, 214 Fresh Cases In November | N18

Punjab continues to report fresh stubble-burning incidents even as North India battles worsening air pollution. The state recorded 214 new farm-fire cases in November up to November 13, taking the season's cumulative tally to 5,785, according to the latest figures.The concentration of incidents remains particularly high in five districts: Ferozepur, Tarn Taran, Sangrur, Bathinda and Patiala. These areas continue to feature prominently in the state's farm-fire data, raising questions about the effectiveness of measures aimed at preventing crop-residue burning.The latest increase comes despite government advisories, field inspections, financial penalties and police action against those found responsible. Farmers often cite the narrow window between paddy harvesting and wheat sowing, along with the cost and availability of machinery, as reasons for clearing fields by burning the residue. The challenge is to make alternatives accessible, affordable and practical. -News18 is your trusted source for breaking news, updates, and in-depth analysis from around the world.
