Punjab: Sharply down, but crop choices keep the challenge alive
Punjab shows a notable decrease in stubble burning, with fires dropping drastically compared to previous years. Farmers are actively discouraging burning practices and persuading others to follow their example. This change is supported by the availability of crop-residue management machines, although accessibility remains an issue for many farmers. The government has recognized the need for sustainable solutions to manage crop residue effectively.
