Farmers in northern districts of Punjab and Haryana are plagued by constant bickering of government and eco-friendly agencies that blame them for air pollution in New Delhi-NCR regions. Reason? Stubble burning.

The government is asking farmers to cut crops with the help of machinery instead of using the ancient method of crop-burning. Stubble burning not only leads to the release of toxic gases but also has an adverse effect on the health of the citizens.

Stubble burning is associated with the extensive use for machinery in paddy fields, which leave 12-14 inch stalks — frequently described as “stubble” – after the crop has been cut.
