Punjab's Stubble Burning Crisis: Alternatives Ignored, Satellites Gamed | India Today Debate

India Today's recent broadcast, led by Rahul Kanwal, highlighted a significant reduction in farm fires in Punjab, as per government data. However, the broadcast raised questions about the accuracy of this data, suggesting that the full extent of the fires might not be captured. The program hosted a spirited debate between representatives of the Aam Aadmi Party and the Bharatiya Janata Party, with allegations of a grand conspiracy and electioneering tactics. In addition, an investigation by India Today revealed a crisis in Punjab's approach to stubble burning. Despite the government's introduction of alternatives like 'happy seeders,' the report suggests these are largely ignored by farmers. The investigation also pointed out that farmers might be manipulating the system by burning stubble post satellite surveillance. The issue of these machines being sold to scrap dealers and the inability of small farmers to bear the operating costs were also highlighted. #farmfires #stubbleburning #punjabfarmfires #itwebvideos #farmers #rahulkawal #stubbleburning #happyseeders #bjp #investigation #punjab #aap #satellites #indiatoday #conspiracy Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
