Farmers in the region commonly burn crop residue to clear fields after harvesting. However, due to its detrimental environmental impacts, several state governments, including Punjab, have banned the practice.

On Sunday, eight new cases of stubble burning were reported in Punjab. Amritsar has the highest number of cases this year, with 51 instances recorded. Actions have been taken in response to 47 incidents of stubble burning, resulting in fines totaling ₹225,000. Additionally, FIRs have been filed under Section 223 of the BNS in 49 cases.

The Punjab government is taking various measures to curb stubble burning, but cases continue to emerge. Burning stubble is a cost-effective method for farmers to clear their fields, making it a persistent challenge for the government.

In 32 cases, a red entry has been recorded in the land records of farmers found burning stubble. This prevents farmers from selling, mortgaging, or taking loans against their land.

Satellites are being utilized to monitor stubble-burning incidents. Control Room Supervisor Yug stated that satellites identify incidents of stubble burning using various sensors, and officers monitor the data. Nodal and cluster officers then alert the SDM about the incident. A team immediately goes to the site and advises farmers not to burn stubble.

Continued efforts have increased awareness among farmers regarding the harmful effects of stubble burning, and many are now avoiding the practice. Farmers are also informed about various state government schemes that support alternatives to stubble burning.
