Is Pakistan behind the increasing pollution in India? How poisonous air is coming from across the border

Delhi Air Pollution: The Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) in Chandigarh has recently released a report. According to this report, stubble burning in Punjab province of Pakistan is also affecting India. It has been told in this report that due to wind, the smoke of stubble burnt in Pakistan comes to India. After this the smoke enters Delhi via Punjab and Haryana. This is the reason why the amount of pollution increases significantly in Delhi.

Burning of stubble in Punjab province of Pakistan is also affecting the environment of India. Due to the smoke coming from Punjab and Haryana, the air quality in the capital Delhi becomes very poor, which has become a serious problem for the last few years. Every year during the winter season, this problem becomes even worse, due to which people living in Delhi and surrounding areas have to face many serious diseases. Delhi’s air quality has been bad for the last one week.

This time there has been a decline in stubble burning in Haryana and Punjab.

The report claims that there has been a decline in incidents of stubble burning in Haryana and Punjab compared to the previous year. A Delhi organization had claimed that since last year there has been a decline in the incidents of stubble burning in Haryana and Punjab, which can help in improving the air quality of Delhi. Climate trend shows that the cases of stubble burning in Haryana have reduced from 14000 in 2019 to less than 8000 in 2023.

What does the Chandigarh PGIMER report say?

The cases of stubble burning in Punjab had reached about 95000 in 2020, but in 2023 the figures came down to less than 53000. The air quality of Delhi becomes very poor in the months of October and November. The biggest reason for this is considered to be stubble burning in Haryana and Punjab. However, the report of Chandigarh PGIMER is saying something else.
