Sirsa Accuses Delhi CM Kejriwal of Stubble Burning Amid Delhi's Air Crisis

Sirsa district officials in Haryana have publicly accused Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of being responsible for stubble burning that is contributing to Delhi's deteriorating air quality. The statement, made earlier this week, highlights the growing frustration over the impact of agricultural residue burning in Punjab and Haryana on the capital’s environment. Stubble burning is a major source of particulate matter and other pollutants that worsen Delhi’s already hazardous air pollution levels. The accusation reflects a broader debate over responsibility for the region’s air quality crisis, with local leaders calling for stronger measures to curb residue burning. The Delhi government has reiterated its commitment to reducing pollution, but the clash underscores the complex inter-state dynamics surrounding environmental policy.
