Chandigarh: Despite the Union government spending over Rs 2,000 crore to tackle stubble burning over the last four years, the issue continues to smother north India, leading to severe dips in air quality in Delhi-NCR, Punjab and Haryana.

In the last four years, a total of Rs 1,050.68 crore was given to Punjab, of which Rs 235 crore was released in the financial year 2021-22; however, the field fires are far from over in the state.

Between November 1 and 7, nearly 22,000 stubble burning cases were reported from across the state, revealed data from Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB). The state had recorded 13,124 stubble burning cases till October 31 – 50% lower than the cases reported till that date last year, claimed state officials.

On November 6, the figure crossed the 35,000 mark with over 5,000 more cases per day.

According to PPCB officials, 62% of the total stubble burning cases in Punjab this year were reported in the last week (between November 1 and 7), leading to ‘poor to severe’ air quality in state.
