Explanation:
As farmers in India’s north finish harvesting their rice crop, thick, dark plumes of smoke and soot have risen into the air over the Indo-Gangetic plains. The state of Punjab has banned stubble-burning, but for many farmers – especially those running smaller scale operations – simply setting fire to the paddy straw remains the fastest way to clear the land and begin sowing wheat.
The fundamental issue is that, from 2009, the Punjab government has had farmers delay the start of the rice crop so that seasonal rains could replenish the groundwater first before being diverted to agriculture. On the flip side, however, there are only a couple weeks between the rice and wheat seasons, making combustion a tempting solution.
But while the state government has advanced plenty of alternatives to farmers, farmers have complained that the alternatives are still less lucrative than simply starting fires. The government also announced cash incentives but this scheme has been riddled with allegations of corruption and inefficacy. All together, as the Indian Express reported earlier today, “fields have been on fire every 100-200 metres in Jandiala Guru, Tarsikka, Tarn Taran, Khadur Sahib, and Ajnala blocks of Punjab’s Majha belt”.
