States must stop blaming each other & find solution for stubble burning: Kejriwal

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday said state governments should stop blaming each other and work together to find a solution to the issue of stubble burning, one of the major reasons for the yearly problem of poor air in Delhi-NCR during winters.

Kejriwal said while farmers of neighbouring states and people of Delhi are bearing the brunt of stubble burning, governments have shut their eyes .

State governments should stop blaming each other. We have to work together to find a solution to the issue. All agencies and governments need to take it seriously now, he told reporters in Hiranki village in Narela where the spraying of Pusa bio-decomposer solution started on Tuesday.

The solution, experts say, can turn the stubble into manure in 15 to 20 days and therefore, can prevent stubble burning. I am worried about farm fires in neighbouring states. The smoke has started affecting Delhi’s air quality. Air pollution was under control for the last 10 months, but it has started increasing again, the chief minister said.
