Farm fires reach five-year high in Rajasthan, Delhi; record low in Punjab

Quick Summary:

This marks a sharp contrast to Punjab and Haryana, where stubble burning incidents have dropped to a five-year low.

Stage-IV of GRAP, which applies when the AQI crosses 450, was imposed by the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) to combat the crisis.

Stubble burning is estimated to account for as much as 40 per cent of Delhi's pollution, according to SAFAR, a weather forecasting agency under the Ministry of Earth Sciences.
