Punjab Targets Stubble Burning in a Few Villages

Punjab Targets Stubble Burning in a Few Villages

Punjab is trying to reduce air pollution from burning leftover crops after harvest, called stubble.

They've found that most of the burning happens in only a few villages.

By focusing on these high-burning villages, the government hopes to make a big difference.

They plan to provide farmers with machines to manage the crop residue instead of burning it, and also give training on how to use the machines.

This concentrated effort aims to significantly reduce farm fires and improve air quality across the region.
