Haryana govt says stubble burning incidents down 29% this year
stubble burning incidents this year compared to the corresponding year-ago period due to the significant steps being taken by the Haryana government for crop residue management, it said on Monday. Acting on the directives of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, a state-specific scheme has been implemented to curb incidents of stubble burning, according to an official statement.
This initiative provides financial assistance to farmers for crop residue management while setting zero-burning targets for panchayats. As a result of these efforts, there have been 713 recorded incidents of stubble burning this year, marking a 29 per cent reduction compared to the corresponding year-ago period, it said.
However, strict action has been taken against law violators, the statement further said.
Police cases have been registered against 192 farmers for burning stubble, it added.
«So far, 334 challans have been issued and fines amounting to Rs 8.45 lakh recovered from farmers. In addition, 418 'red entries' have been recorded in the field records of these farmers,» it said.
