Punjab: Official who went to stop farm fires made to burn stubble

Deccan Chronicle  

Bathinda : A group of farmers in Punjab's Bathinda district courted controversy after they allegedly forced a government official, who was part of a team to prevent farm fires, to burn the stubble lying in a field on Friday. Bathinda Senior Superintendent of Police Gulneet Singh Khurana said that the incident took place under the Nahian Wala police station limits in Mehma Sarja village. " During this, the farmers there called their union and forced our civil administration's officer, Harpreet Singh, to burn that stubble," the police officer said. The process of burning farm residue is one of the major causes of air pollution in parts of north India, deteriorating the air quality around this time of the year.
