Khota Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 6 minutes ago, cowboysfan said: stop all stubble burning.this is not a political issue but a human issue,all parties should come together and enforce this strictly.While we are at it India should give up Coal completely and transition much more quickly to renewable energy and battery and hydrogen vehicles.for its credit the government has set some goals to 2030 and complete renewable production by 2050 but its not going to get there if states themselves dont take up the slack.only some states like Gujarat,TN,Rajasthan and Karnataka are heavily pursuing renewables. Those states are not agricultural states. I truly wish Punjab was not an agricultural state either and should transition to something else. But there are underlying causes to this issue that need to be resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you can answer why napunsak CM and party is unable to do anything about this in their state Punjab for 2 years?! Asking a simple question why farmers are burning stubble is dumb? Did you get your two master's from Trump University. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you know both problem and solution - why are you asking me? Please educate me Also pls explain why is this only a problem in da Punjab and not in Haryana, Rajasthan etc. This morning's NASA satmap shows how stubble-burning continues unabated in Punjab. Smog from these farm-fires will blanket Delhi soon. Meanwhile, any kid caught lighting Diwali firecrackers will be jailed for 6 months.Politicians are playing with our lives.

bharathh Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 (edited) Also @Khota Here is a statewise breakdown of crops grown in India. Punjab is a distant 3rd in both Rice & Wheat to Maharashtra and UP. They don't seem to grow much of anything else. Why are these other states not facing these issues? You can say MH has more money.. but what about UP? They are one of the poorest states in India. https://www.indiabudget.gov.in/economicsurvey/doc/stat/tab118.pdf Edited November 3, 2023 by bharathh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Wolf Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Government has always been involved.... Shekhar Gupta explained it very clearly here due to lack of water... the state government of Punjab Haryana have restricted usage of water for growing Rice during hot and dry months of April/May... Hence the rice crop is sown later in months of June and the crop is ready by October. Many farms now use mechanized equipment that leave behind stubble. As the farms have to be readied for winter sowing of wheat... the farms have to be cleared of stubble. As government is unable to collect and use stubble of tasks like manufacturing of ethanol.. most of the stubble is burned. Now Wind factor also comes into play as Winds operate from North - West to South east & dry winds aid spread of pollutants as well. South & Deccan is immune to these things... And least largely. coffee_rules and Lord 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboysfan Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Another option is growing more Millets,they are way more healthy than Rice and are drought resistant. randomGuy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
