Delhi's Air Pollution Crisis: Conspiracy Alleged as Stubble Burning Soars in Punjab

The pollution level in Delhi's air rose alarmingly on Monday due to the bursting of firecrackers in the capital long after the deadline on Diwali, and when people's eyes were opened in the morning, the city's sky was covered with a thick grey haze. Meanwhile, Kapil Mishra, a minister in the Rekha government in Delhi, has called it a conspiracy. In a press conference, Delhi Minister Kapil Mishra said that last evening we started getting calls from Punjab farmers. The fields are being set on fire at night. When farmers are celebrating Diwali in their homes, some people set fire to their fields and then run away. We were not convinced. We decided to find out the truth. We saw the satellite data that the Indian government received, which is related to stubble burning. This data proves that it was a well-thought-out conspiracy and Punjab's fields were set on fire. Mishra said that according to the satellite data of November 5, 6, and satellite data, the number of stubble burning at 125 places increased 10 times on Diwali day. But according to the data of November 7, the number of stubble burning increased 7 times.
