Minister from Haryana criticizes the Punjab government for burning beards; AAP responds
One of the main causes of the concerning increase in air pollution in the nation's capital between October and November is said to be the burning of paddy straw in Punjab and Haryana.
The Haryana minister for agriculture and farmers' welfare released statistics showing that on November 1, 2, and 3, there were 1,921, 1,668, and 1,551 agricultural fire incidents in Punjab and 99, 48, and 28 stubble burning events in Haryana on the same three days.
The Aam Aadmi Party reacted sharply to Haryana Agriculture Minister Jai Prakash Dalal's Saturday criticism of the Bhagwant Mann administration in Punjab over the incidences of stubble burning in the state.
Dalal provided information on agricultural fire statistics in Punjab and Haryana for the previous three days in a post on the microblogging platform, X.
"In Hindi, Dalal wrote, 'We have sought water from (Arvind) Kejriwal ji and Bhagwant Mann ji, not smoke of paddy stubble.

In response to Dalal's remarks, the AAP called him out for "spreading lies".
Punjab AAP unit spokesman Neel Garg said, "Even in Haryana, where twenty of the fifty-two most polluted districts in the nation are located, the Khattar government is playing politics and blaming Punjab." "The Mann authority in Punjab provided machinery to farmers to check stubble-burning incidents," he claimed.
He criticized the state's BJP-led administration by stating, "And what did the Khattar government do... only politics."
One of the main causes of the concerning increase in air pollution in the nation's capital between October and November is said to be the burning of paddy straw in Punjab and Haryana. After rice harvest, there is a very little window for planting wheat, a crucial crop for Rabi, thus some farmers burn their fields to swiftly remove the crop residue before planting the next crop.
On November 3, air quality indices were classified as "severe" in certain areas of Haryana and as "poor" in several areas of neighboring Punjab. Based on data from the Punjab Remote Sensing Center, 12,813 stubble-burning occurrences were registered in Punjab up to November 3.
