On the issue of #Stubble #Burning...
We r looking at symptoms and not d root cause. The elephant in d room is raising of paddy by farmers in Punjab, Haryana and West UP as a "cash" crop. A crop that is neither soil nor water appropriate in north west India nor a local staple.

It was pushed by d establishment as a "green revolution" "cash" crop & d local favorite namely d Sathi Rice (60 day rice) was actively discouraged. Solution to Delhi& #39;s woes lie not in laws or regulations. It lies in suitable change of course with local consultation in crops that
farmers wud raise without loss in returns. There r large parts of waterlogged areas in Punjab/Haryana where Sathi rice cud still be raised or cultivated during d monsoon months. These r few sustainable solutions. All rest is a façade & a knee jerk impractical time buying.
Yes Delhi NCR must tk active measures to put its own house in order on d pollution front before crying wolf come Sept-Oct.
