NEW DELHI, OCT 03, 2024: THE comprehensive action plans formulated by the State Govt. of Punjab and Haryana, under the directions of CAQM, targeted the elimination of paddy stubble burning in the Kharif season 2024.

Towards closer coordination of agencies and to intensify the monitoring actions towards prevention of paddy stubble burning incidents during the paddy-harvesting season in the States of Punjab and Haryana, the Flying Squads of CPCB, assisting CAQM, have been deployed to identified hotspot districts in Punjab and Haryana during 01.10.2024 to 30.11.2024, where paddy stubble burning incidences are generally higher.
