&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Chandigarh: &lt;/em&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;On November 6, the figure crossed the 35,000 mark with over 5,000 more cases per day.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;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 &amp;lsquo;poor to severe&amp;rsquo; air quality in state.&lt;/p&gt;
