The winter season has started, the condition of North India remains miserable due to pollution caused by stubble. Especially the country’s capital Delhi is most troubled by this. Punjab is mostly blamed for stubble in India. Let us know today whether the same happens in Pakistan also. If yes, then how does Pakistan’s Punjab deal with it?
How much pollution occurs in Pakistan’s Punjab
According to the report of Indian Express, Pakistan Lahore in Punjab is the most polluted city in the world. Pakistan Punjab Government informed on Tuesday that the AQI of Lahore was 394 on this day. This is the worst situation. Now the question arises what the Government of Pakistan is doing to stop this. Let us tell you, to deal with this, the Government of Pakistan gives money to the farmers of Punjab in exchange for stubble so that they do not burn the stubble in the fields. Apart from this, this time the Punjab government of Pakistan also made artificial rain in Lahore so that the people of the city can be saved from pollution.
Pollution in India
In Delhi. In a high-level meeting held through video conference under the chairmanship of Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Environment Minister Bhupendra Yadav, for efforts to reduce the level of air pollution, states were asked to put more than 3,00,000 crop residue management machines into use. They were asked to make the stubble more favorable, which was distributed among the farmers on government subsidy.
In this meeting, Shivraj Singh Chauhan said that the incidents of stubble burning have reduced compared to earlier. Official data shows that incidents of stubble burning have decreased by 35 percent in Punjab and 21 percent in Haryana as compared to last year. At the same time, if compared with 2017, there has been a decrease of 51 percent in the total cases of stubble burning.
Let us tell you, every year due to stubble burning, Delhi gets lost in a cloud of smoke. Along with breathing problems, people here also suffer from eye irritation, sneezing and cough. Punjab government takes strict steps to deal with this in India.
