8500 nodal officers deputed at hotspot villages in Punjab to ensure zero stubble burning

Chandigarh, Sep 19 (UNI) In a bid to curb the menace of stubble burning during the paddy harvesting season, the Punjab government has appointed 8500 nodal officers in all paddy growing villages of the state, identified as hotspots, where paddy stubble was being traditionally put on fire.
According to Punjab Pollution Control Board Member Secretary Krunesh Garg, the necessary directions have already been issued to the concerned Deputy Commissioners to give a special attention to the hotspot villages as each of such villages had witnessed more than 25 fire incidents during the last season.
It may be recalled that Patiala, Sangrur, Barnala, Bathinda, Ferozepur, Sri Muktsar Sahib, Tarn Taran, Moga and Mansa were identified as hotspot districts, where more than 4000 active fire incidents of paddy stubble burning cases were reported in each of these districts in the past.
