Stubble Burning
Despite various policies and schemes by previous Congress government and current AAP regime, farmers claim that they are compelled to burn the remaining parts of their crops or the insects (pink worm) will affect their produce.
They claimed that last year they followed the government’s procedure but lost their produce. So they better burn the stubble this time.
