Centre to intensify action against stubble burning with new enforcement measures

The Centre has announced a new enforcement strategy to address the persistent issue of stubble burning by farmers. The move, described as a 'red entry' initiative, aims to strengthen action against the practice that contributes to seasonal air pollution across northern India.

The initiative is intended to tackle stubble burning through enhanced monitoring and enforcement mechanisms. Officials have indicated that the new approach will involve stricter measures to discourage farmers from resorting to crop residue burning during harvest seasons.
