Government is strict to control air pollution
On Friday, Chief Secretary Aamir Subhani held a meeting on crop residue management. He said that as the time of paddy harvesting approaches, the situation of air pollution in the state is likely to worsen. Therefore, be cautious in those blocks and panchayats where complaints of burning of crop residues have been received earlier. Cancel DBT registration of such farmers on receipt of complaint. Deprive them of all types of grants. Display its list in the block office. Take action to deprive them of the benefits of paddy procurement.
Appeal not to burn stubble in the fields
Earlier, an appeal was made to farmers in Bihar not to burn stubble in the fields. Agriculture Secretary Sanjay Aggarwal had asked not to burn crop residue in view of the paddy harvest and had given instructions for proper management instead of burning paddy stubble, straw etc. in the fields. In fact, after harvesting paddy, farmers burn crop residues i.e. stubble inside their fields. Due to which the atmosphere also gets damaged and air pollution also becomes fatal. The particles emanating from stubble smoke remain at the lower surface of the atmosphere. In such a situation, the government has taken strict steps to control air pollution.
