Zero farm fires in city; rise in ‘good’ air days
Hindustan Times Noida
|March 24, 2026
TO TACKLE DELHI'S POLLUTION, 100 ‘VAYU RAKSHAKS’ EQUIPPED WITH GPS AND CCTV CAMERAS HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED ACROSS THE CITY
The national capital recorded zero instances of farm fires last winter and showed a steady improvement in air quality, the Economic Survey said.
The number of ‘good’, ‘satisfactory’ and ‘moderate’ air quality days (AQI below 201) rose from 159 in 2018 to 200 in 2025, according to the Economic Survey 2025-26 tabled in the Delhi assembly on Monday. “With sustained efforts towards air pollution control, the number of ‘good days’ has increased from 159 in 2018 to 200 in 2025,” it said.
The survey noted that while the Consortium for Research on Agroecosystem Monitoring and Modelling from Space (CREAMS) laboratory at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI) detected five farm fire incidents in Delhi during the 2025 paddy harvesting season, field verification found none of these to be cases of stubble burning.
