As Delhi pollution rises, farmers explain why they're still burning crop stubble

Farmers across Punjab have been burning paddy residual despite a ban on stubble burning. Farmers said they are helpless and burn paddy stubble to minimise the cost of production. The farmers claim that the paddy stubble causes only 8% of the total pollution. They, however, accused the state govt of not providing agricultural machinery to control stubble. On Sunday, Punjab reported this harvest season’s highest stubble burning instances. Nearly 28,000 incidents of stubble burning were reported until October 31 last year. Watch this report for more.
