Haryana Reports Decline in Stubble Burning; Drones Deployed to Monitor Crop Residue
Haryana has seen a notable decline in stubble burning cases, with only five incidents reported as of October 8, compared to seven last year and higher numbers in previous years. The Agriculture Department in Ambala has deployed drones to monitor crop residue burning across 35 sensitive villages, aiming to reduce active fire locations to zero. Farmers are encouraged to manage crop residue through alternative methods, while recent rains have raised concerns about delayed harvesting and moisture in stored paddy.
