India Today reports that Punjab experienced a major rise in stubble burning during Diwali, prompting political accusations that the practice is worsening Delhi’s air quality. In contrast, The Tribune notes that satellite data from the Indian Agricultural Research Institute show a 95 percent decline in stubble‑burning incidents in Punjab and a 98 percent decline in Haryana between 2020 and 2026, attributing the drop to farm mechanisation, scientific interventions and greater farmer participation. No further details on the Diwali‑related rise are provided in the excerpts.
