New Delhi, Sep 16 (UNI) Environment Minister Gopal Rai on Wednesday visited the Pusa Agricultural Institute, and said the Delhi government is committed to develop a sustainable and effective solution to the issue of stubble burning, which causes major pollution in the National Capital especially during the winter season.
He said the process of decomposing stubble and using it in the farming fields will be a great initiative and will also save the people of Delhi from the health hazards caused by stubble burning in the neighboring states of Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Haryana.
"The Delhi government will speak to the Centre and states to implement this initiative and the cost of spraying of this compost in Delhi will be borne by the Delhi government, which will ease the burden on the farmers," said Mr Rai.
