Sangrur, Nov 10: Punjab AAP President and Cabinet Minister Aman Arora has challenged the BJP to explain how stubble smoke from Punjab could reach Delhi, as he claimed that the state has achieved nearly a 95% reduction in stubble-burning incidents since 2020. Arora emphasized that stubble smoke contributes just 5% to Delhi's PM2.5 pollution on average, according to the SAFAR and Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology data.
He attributed the success to the cooperation of Punjab's farmers who have received over 1.62 lakh crop residue management machines at subsidised rates since 2022. Arora is calling for the BJP to issue an unconditional apology to Punjab's farmers for maligning them instead of addressing the real sources of Delhi's pollution.
