The Punjab government had earlier faced the wrath of the tribunal for not taking effective steps to provide financial assistance and infrastructure facility to the farmers to encourage them not to burn agricultural residue.

The National Green Tribunal (NGT) on Tuesday directed Delhi and four northern states to formulate a comprehensive policy for providing incentives and infrastructural assistance to farmers to stop them from burning crop residue to prevent air pollution.

The green panel directed the chief secretaries of the Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh governments to file a detailed affidavit enumerating their action plan and compliance of its orders on the mechanism for the collection and storage of crop residue.

A bench headed by Justice Jawad Rahim ordered the state governments to submit the action plan in two weeks and warned that in case of default, it would summon the chief secretaries of these states.

“You (state governments) may have joined 2-3 states together but we require action plans for each state about how you are planning to deal with the matter, (which should be) signed by the chief secretary of each state. The schemes must contain the incentives that you are offering so that we can take further action,” the bench observed.

The tribunal rapped the Delhi and Rajasthan governments after they told the bench that they were examining the issue and sought time for filing the action plan.

The NGT said the state governments are under obligation to identify the sites in each district for removal, collection and storage of crop residue for further utilisation but there has been no “concrete” development in the matter.
