CAQM Team Reviews Paddy Straw Management and Stubble Burning Prevention in Patiala
A two-member team from the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) visited Patiala to evaluate measures against stubble burning during the paddy harvesting season. They inspected a pellet manufacturing unit converting paddy straw into biomass fuel and assessed in-situ and ex-situ management efforts in local villages. Officials highlighted the availability of crop residue management machinery, which farmers credited for reducing stubble burning. The CAQM team commended the coordinated efforts of the district administration and related departments in implementing these measures.
