Farm-fire incidents fall 11.5% across six northern states to 9,590

What's behind this

Punjab Minister said that while it is debated whether smoke from stubble burning reaches Delhi, the primary concern is that it is affecting common people who breathe the same air, and that farmers are the first to be impacted. The state’s cumulative farm fire count has risen to 5,517, with 1,259 FIRs registered, and districts such as Ferozepur, Tarn Taran and Sangrur reporting the highest numbers. Despite government advisories to stop crop‑residue burning, many farmers continue the practice, and Punjab recorded 345 fresh farm fire incidents.
