Not in favour of FIRs against farmers over stubble burning: Punjab CM Mann
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said he opposes filing FIRs against farmers for stubble burning. The practice, common in Punjab and Haryana after the paddy harvest, is often cited as a cause of Delhi‑NCR’s winter haze. Farmers resort to burning because the brief interval before sowing the Rabi wheat crop leaves little time for alternative residue management.
