Ludhiana, October 29, 2024: Deputy Commissioner (DC) Jitendra Jorwal urged farmers to collaborate with the district administration and the Punjab government to protect the environment from the harmful effects of stubble burning.
During a review of the current status of stubble burning cases and the actions taken so far, Jorwal emphasized that stubble burning damages both the environment and soil fertility by releasing particulate matter and depleting essential soil nutrients. He stressed the importance of closely monitoring farm fire cases, ensuring accurate reporting and verification, and educating farmers about the dangers of stubble burning.
The DC reiterated that it is our collective responsibility to combat stubble burning, highlighting that every farmer plays a crucial role in protecting the environment. He noted that the administration has provided 8,978 machines to farmers through various channels to ensure the farmers manage the stubble effectively.
Jorwal also encouraged progressive farmers to spread the message of the anti-stubble burning campaign in their communities to promote a cleaner environment.
