Haryana Reports Decline in Farm Fires Amid Concerns Over Monitoring Accuracy
Haryana has recorded fewer farm fires this season, with 89 incidents compared to 206 last year, according to satellite data from HARSAC. However, ground reports from districts like Kaithal and Karnal indicate ongoing stubble burning, raising concerns about monitoring accuracy. Air quality remains poor in several cities, prompting measures like water sprinkling on roads. In Kurukshetra, eight farm fires have been reported amid delayed harvesting, with authorities issuing notices and enforcing penalties. Farmers cite delayed access to baler machines as a challenge in managing crop residue.
