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 it the state's hotspot. This year's total is slightly higher than last year's 561 but significantly lower than 2024's 1,678. With farm fires typically peaking in early November, experts are analyzing the reasons behind this early increase.
