Ludhiana Sees Decline in Stubble Burning Incidents

Ludhiana Sees Decline in Stubble Burning Incidents

In Ludhiana, India, there's less burning of leftover wheat stalks in fields this year.

Officials say it's because farmers know it's bad and are trying other ways.

Burning fields makes the air dirty.

In 2025, there were fewer fires compared to 2024, and even fewer than in 2022.

The local government helped by talking to farmers and setting up watch teams.

Some people think the government could be doing more to stop the burning.

Now, there are fewer smoky days, which is good for everyone!
