Garhshankar (Hoshiarpur): Even when Punjab has witnessed the highest agricultural fire until now this year compared to the last few years, a number of farmers in the Garshankar region of Nawanshahar Regency have not burned stumps and beards from their fields of a unit in neighboring Himachal Pradesh.
The Pollution Notification Booster (PPCB) initially, it was good, the stump was used as energy and they worked to reduce agricultural fires.
“There are no farmers from our village which burns stumps in the ongoing rice harvest season because the stump has been chosen by people who make guarantees.
They took a guarantee of stump to sugar factories in Nawanshahr and paper factories in Saila, but now most of them will To Himachal Pradesh where he was used by several units, “said Charanjit Singh, Sarpanch from Panam Village.
“I also haven’t burned stumps on my four hectares for the past years.
As a result of a few stumps burned in the area, people face fewer respiratory problems”.
The farmers said the contractor came to their village to lift Stubble and service steps from the door.
“In our village too, people come to take the stump and make the same guarantee.
What else can be asked by a farmer as Tunggul’s transportation requires money and who increases agricultural costs,” said Manpreet Singh, a resident of Dhamai Village.
He added that children and elderly benefited from this as an incident that burned less stumps in the village.
The contractor, which made a bail stump, said his request was high.
“We collected stumps in the Khanna area and supplied there, but after we ordered for the same thing from the soap concentrate manufacturing unit in the Nangal Himachal Pradesh area so we thought it would be easier to gather stumps here and supply the same factory on HP, around 20 km from here, because the transportation costs from here are lacking.
This is the first time the stump will go to the unit at Himachal Pradesh on a large scale.
Units need 50,000 tons for power plants, but we will be able to meet the requirements of 30,000 tons.
Around 20-25 Bailers from Nawanshahar and 8-10 Bailers from Patiala were involved in the process, “said Maggar Singh, a Turmuri Village farmer in Khanna, who was involved in the process and camping near Panam Village for the same thing.
“The villagers from the collection of stumps have occurred including Bagwain, Ki Bhago teacher, teacher chak, teacher’s busty, Gogo, Gogo, Rorkie, Rorkie, Ibrahimpur, Chak Phullu, Chak Hajipur, Singha Chak, Rakra, Singhli etc.
While we took the stump From the field of farmers who are free of charge, there are some people who collect a number of farmers’.
Secretary of the member, PPCB, Krunesh Garg said he was aware of the use of distitized stumps in Nawanshahar and at the paper factory there but he had not heard of the stump used in the Nangal unit.
He added that it was good if used in one unit there and they encourage the use of stumps as energy.
