14 Haryana farmers arrested for burning stubble after Supreme Court rap

After being rapped by the Supreme Court for failing to take action against farmers burning crop residue, resulting in air pollution in neighbouring Delhi, Haryana has arrested 14 farmers in Kaithal district.

Additionally, the agriculture department has suspended 24 officers and employees of various districts for failing to curb stubble burning incidents.

During the onset of winter, burning of crop residue in Haryana and Punjab is seen as one of the major factors contributing to the rise in pollution levels in Delhi.
