Punjab farm fires: Why 2 districts have seen most stubble burning incidents
Punjab recorded 574 farm fires this season, with 414 (72%) in Tarn Taran and Amritsar, making the Majha region a hotspot. This marks a slight increase from last year's 561 fires during the same period, but remains significantly lower than the 2024 figure of 1,678. The trend raises concerns about air quality as incidents typically peak in early November.
