National Capital could breathe easier next winter, as paddy farmers in Punjab and Haryana might receive help from Niti Aayog and National Green Tribunal to tackle paddy stubbles on their fields for readying them for planting potato or wheat. The PMO is looking into this problem and they have now fixed a Rs 500 crore budget (earlier pegged at Rs 700 cr) for Punjab and Haryana to tackle this problem and improve air quality in Delhi and now an environment services expert. This subsidy should go to farmers on purchase of machinery like harvesters and zero tillers. And a part of it would be used to subsidize industries who would use these refuse as fuel as subsidy on its transport cost.
