New Delhi: The incident of agricultural fires spread across both Punjab and Haryana have now begun to emerge in the Satellite Image VIRS NASA, with more than 200 amounts of agricultural fires that have been recorded in the Majha Punjab area since September 1, an analysis conducted by the Energy Council, the environment and water (CEE) shows.
According to data, 66 fires were recorded in Punjab on Wednesday, while 23 the number of fires was recorded in Haryana on the same day.
Every year, fires of plants from propellers began to appear on satellite imagery towards the end of September.
Their numbers increased substantially in the second week of October.
Experts say it’s still too early to compare data and better indications about how the two punjabs and Haryana fares will apply in mid-October, when the monsoon also withdraws.
Before this week, a portion of Punjab, Haryana, UP and Delhi still received shower, which again, could affect the pattern of plants.
“More than 200 agricultural fires have been reported in the Majha region (Amritsar and Tarn Taran) from Punjab so far.
Data on the event of the Satellite-Development API in recent years showed a recurring pattern of early stumps that lit up in the area that began in the last week of September,” Kurinji LS said, the Associate program in the CEE.
He added that while the beginning to get a trend in the number of agricultural fires recorded so far, the Punjab government needs to ensure timely access to plant residual management solutions.
“The fire we witnessed today seemed to follow the trend observed in the appropriate period for the past five years.
The targeted awareness campaign and supervision in high-burning villages is needed to stop burning stumps,” he said.
In a study conducted by IIT Delhi last year, 554 villages were identified in both Punjab and Haryana where the burning of consistent stumps occurred over the past three years.
In terms of contributions to Delhi air in October and November, this study identified Amritsar, Tarn Taran, Firozpur, Ludhiana, Faridkot, Bathinda, Mansa, Patiala and Sangrur in Punjab and Hisar, Sirsa and Kaital in Haryana as the biggest contributors.
The proximity to Delhi, wind direction and fire intensity is the main factor.
Last week, the commission for air quality management (CAQM) in NCR said that the state of Punjab and NCR had prepared a detailed action plan to overcome burning stumps, with a bio-decomposer solution developed by the Indian Agricultural Research Institute to be used in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and This winter punjab.
The bio-decomposer solution will be sprayed more than 6 lakh hectares in Haryana, 1 lakh hectare in Haryana and 7,413 hectares in Punjab.
CAQM said that the detailed plan has been formulated based on the framework made by each state and direction issued for strict implementation of plans in each country.
The plan is included in the management of stuu and ex situ residues, the ban on burning stumps, monitoring and enforcement and effective ways and ways to reduce the generation of rice straw too.
Each country is also asked to adopt a standard protocol developed by ISRO to monitor agricultural fires that are calculated this season.
