Satellite Misses Most Punjab, Haryana Fires

A new report says that most big farm fires in Punjab and Haryana are happening in the late afternoon, which means the government's satellites can't see them.

These satellites only look at India between 10:30 am and 1:30 pm.

This means the government doesn't know about most of the fires, which makes the air in Delhi worse.

The report also says that even though farmers are burning less land now, there's still a lot of burning happening.

The report wants the government to use better ways to watch for fires and to include data from more states.

The Supreme Court is also looking into this issue because the number of fires detected by satellites doesn't match what's actually happening on the ground.
