Punjab farmers burn stubble protesting prohibition order
Farmers in Punjab's Sangrur area on Thursday burnt stubble in protest against the State's order of banning the practice. The farmers refused to abide by the order, saying the government must give them subsidy if they want them to stop burning stubble. Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi had issued notifications prohibiting crop residue burning to curb air pollution.
