According to the Hisar-based Haryana Space Applications Centre (HARSAC), the area in which stubble was burnt in 2016 was more than what it was in the previous two years and the same as 2013

Chandigarh:
Stubble in over two lakh hectares of land was burnt last year in Haryana despite the state government cracking the whip on farmers who defied orders restricting the practice.

Crop-residue burning had led to air pollution across the region and also severely affected air quality in the National Capital Region.

According to the HISAR-based Haryana Space Applications Centre (HARSAC), the area in which stubble was burnt in 2016 was more than what it was in the previous two years and the same as 2013.

"Stubble was burnt (during the harvest period) in over 2,08,000 hectares in 2013 and the successive two years showed declining trend. However, in 2016 stubble was burnt over the same area as it was in 2013," HARSAC Chief Scientist R S Hooda said today.

HARSAC has been doing this study for the last four years. A few years back the National Green Tribunal wanted the centre to find out how much area was involved and look into the magnitude of the problem (stubble burning), he said.
