 Issue of Winter Pollution in North India

  • North India, especially the Indo-Gangetic plains, experiences a significant increase in pollution levels during winter.

  • Officials from states like Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh recently met to address air quality concerns in Delhi.

Causes and Solutions

Major Causes

  • Pollution from vehicles contributes significantly to air quality degradation.

  • Dust from roads and construction sites adds to the pollution load.

  • Poor handling of solid waste also contributes to emissions.

  • Stubble Burning: The burning of paddy straw in Punjab and Haryana accounts for about 40% of winter pollutants

  • Punjab is expected to produce over 19 million tonnes of paddy straw, while Haryana will generate around 8 million tonnes.

Solutions

  • Both Punjab and Haryana have pledged to stop paddy stubble burning.

  • Creating financial incentives and penalties to discourage straw burning.

  • Crop Residue Management: Punjab plans to manage 11.5 million tonnes in-field, while Haryana aims for 3.3 million tonnes.

  • Using 2 million tonnes of paddy straw in thermal power plants as a carbon source.

Challenges

  • Farmers often lack access to necessary machinery for managing straw.

  • There is no efficient system to transport straw from fields to power plants.


  • States and the central government must work together, setting aside political differences to effectively tackle the pollution crisis.
