Pollution Panel Report In SC: State Govts Fails To Control Stubble Burning

Despite stringent orders, stubble burning incidents continue unabated in Punjab and Haryana, according to a report from the Commission for Air Quality Management submitted to the Supreme Court ahead of a crucial hearing on pollution.

In its affidavit, the CAQM highlighted the failure of state governments to curb these practices. Between September 15 & October 17, the commission reported 601 incidents of stubble burning in Haryana and 1,289 in Punjab.

The CAQM’s report emphasized that, in light of these figures, it has issued notices to officials in both states, questioning why they should not face legal action for their inaction. The commission criticized the administrations for not effectively preventing these incidents.

Previously, the CAQM identified vehicular pollution as a significant contributor to air quality deterioration. To address this, the commission has mandated regular certification of vehicles to ensure compliance with emission standards, directing NCR state governments to implement these measures promptly.

The situation remains critical as the commission seeks to hold officials accountable and enforce regulations aimed at reducing pollution levels in the region.
