Representative image NEW DELHI: Punjab received 46% of Rs 1727 crore central fund for curbing stubble burning in the last three years, but saw a 15% spike in farm fire incidents over 2017 figures while Haryana and Uttar Pradesh significantly reduced crop residue burning incidents during the same period, the Centre informed the Supreme Court on Tuesday. The ministry of environment, forest and climate change, through solicitor general Tushar Mehta and additional solicitor general Aishwarya Bhati, gave details in an affidavit about the steps taken by the newly set up Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas. It said feedback has been sought from the Punjab chief secretary on making available Crop Residue Management (CRM) machines at farmers doorsteps as well as popularising the use of Pusa bio-decomposer technology along with CRM machines for in situ management of stubble.
