Haryana Deploys Parali Protection Force and Drones to Curb Stubble Burning
Haryana plans to deploy a special 'Parali Protection Force' comprising police and officials, alongside drones and intensified night patrols, to curb paddy stubble burning during the harvesting season. The state will enforce penalties including FIRs, challans, and environmental compensation for violations. Farmers will receive Rs 1,200 per acre as an incentive for sustainable crop-residue management. These measures align with directives from the Commission for Air Quality Management to improve air quality and support sustainable farming practices.
