Taking note of the alarming levels of air pollution caused by the practise of burning of crop residue, rampant among farmers in Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and NCT of Delhi, the National Green Tribunal ordered to deny the benefit of Minimum Support Price to farmers who continue to follow the practise. The order was passed on Monday by the NGT Principal Bench at New Delhi presided by Chairman Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel on the basis of reports that various measures adopted by State Governments to control crop burning have not yielded desired results, resulting in deterioration of air quality after Dusshera. The Tribunal took cognizance of news reports published in the Indian Express, Times of India, The Hindu and The Economic Times, which pointed out that Delhi recorded the worst air quality in four years and that farmers found it easy to pay fine rather than stop stubble burning.
