CAQM tells Punjab officials stubble-burning targets must show on ground

A Commission for Air Quality Management team reviewing anti-stubble-burning measures in Punjab's Sangrur, Patiala and Malerkotla districts told officials their commitments must translate into action on the ground. At Gharachon, a stubble-burning hotspot in Sangrur, farmers flagged difficulties in using crop residue management machinery. Farm fires during paddy harvest add to Delhi-NCR's air pollution.
