Stubble Burning Incidents Decline in Haryana and Uttar Pradesh Amid Government Support
Stubble burning incidents in northern India have declined notably, with Haryana reporting its lowest farm fire count since 2021 and Shahjahanpur district in Uttar Pradesh showing a steady decrease over recent years. The Central Government has allocated over Rs 1,220 crore under the Crop Residue Management scheme to support alternatives to burning. While some farmers have adopted mechanized methods to manage crop residue, concerns remain about stubble burning shifting to nighttime, raising questions about enforcement effectiveness and the availability of affordable alternatives.
