Chandigarh, November 13: Recent air pollution in Delhi NCR and some parts of Haryana has created a high alarming situation. Normal life is totally disrupted while school, colleges are shut down. In this situation, the blame game of politics has also started. Recently Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal blamed farmers of Punjab and Haryana as he held burning crop stubble as a reason for the pollution. In reply to Delhi CM’s allegation, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar wrote a letter asking for collaborative action rather than blaming each other.
"It's an economic problem. Unless the governments there don't find economically viable alternatives, this won't stop," the Delhi Chief Minister said previously on stubble burning.
Haryana CM asked Delhi CM Kejriwal to come out of a narrowly limited mindset of electoral interests. He also raised the question that some 4000 families who cultivate around 40000 hectares in Delhi, what are Delhi government’s steps to keep them away from stubble burning. He told how Haryana took initiatives for better crop residue management by using 39 crores fund leading to define in a number of stubble burning cases.
