Punjab is usually blamed for burning paddy stubble; here is the back story to that -Gian Singh

-Down to Earth

Paddy farming in Punjab was started to meet the food grain requirements of the country for which the state has been forced to pay a huge price

Paddy harvesting will begin in many parts of Punjab around October 15, 2022 and will be completed in most of the state by the end of the month. The burning of paddy stubble after harvesting the crop in Punjab and the resultant air pollution has been making headlines in the media for quite some time now.

Smoke, unburnt smoke particles and carbon dioxide gas make up most of this air pollution. The pollution caused by the burning of stubble has been creating many problems for humans and non-humans alike in Punjab, Haryana and Delhi.

Political parties and farmer organisations keep giving statements about who should take responsibility for this problem and its solution. The National Green Tribunal is also giving instructions in this regard.

It is necessary to look at the historical aspect of paddy farming in Punjab to understand the causes of this problem and suggest solutions.

Crop combinations were suitable for all types of life before the introduction of paddy in the state on a large scale. This is because these combinations were varied and adaptable to Punjab’s agro-climatic conditions.
