Haryana's agricultural department reports that only four farm fires have been recorded so far, indicating a relatively low incidence compared to previous years.
The state’s agricultural department released its latest figures, confirming that just four farm fires have been logged across Haryana since the beginning of the current cropping season. These incidents represent a modest tally when measured against historical averages for the same period.
Authorities said the fires were scattered across different districts, but each was quickly contained by local fire‑fighting teams and agricultural officers. Rapid response teams were deployed to the sites, preventing any major damage to crops or property.
State officials attributed the low number to intensified awareness drives, stricter enforcement of fire‑prohibition orders, and the distribution of fire‑safety guidelines to farmers. Ongoing monitoring will continue throughout the season to ensure that the trend is maintained.
