Punjab witnessed a surge in stubble-burning incidents, with over 1,500 reported in a day, raising the total to 20,978. Sangrur had the highest cases, exacerbating air quality issues in Haryana, where several cities recorded 'severe' pollution levels. The worsening situation prompted the Commission for Air Quality Management to enforce Stage IV of the Graded Response Action Plan in the National Capital Region. Authorities are urging farmers to refrain from burning crop residue to mitigate the severe air pollution crisis affecting both states. [ Representative Image ]
