Punjab Stubble Burning: Govt Must Act to Curb Pollution, Says Hardeep Puri

Punjab farmers routinely burn crop residue after harvest, a practice that releases large amounts of smoke and particulate matter into the atmosphere. The practice has drawn criticism for worsening air quality across the state and neighboring regions. In a recent statement, Hardeep Puri, a senior political figure, emphasized that the elected government bears the responsibility to curb this pollution. He called on authorities to enforce stricter regulations and promote alternative disposal methods for stubble.
