Stubble-burning incidents in northern India at two-year high: Report
The Statesman
|October 05, 2023
The number of stubble-burning incidents in northern India surpassed the total count of the past two years combined, recent data from the Consortium for Research on Agroecosystem Monitoring and Modelling from Space (Creams) said.
-
The data showed that the region comprising Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh, witnessed 682 stubble-burning incidents from September 15 to October 2 this year. This was higher than the combined 633 incidents in 2021 and 2022 for the period.
Creams, managed by the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), further highlighted that the retreat of the southwest monsoon from northern India and an early harvest have contributed to the rise in instances of stubble burning in the six states.
