Air Pollution: Stubble Burning Reduction Claimed in Punjab as Severe Smog Post-Diwali Hits Chennai

Описание: A review of post-Diwali air pollution indicates continuing environmental concerns across multiple states, including Punjab and Tamil Nadu. According to official statements from the Punjab Director General of Police, farm fire numbers have seen a significant reduction compared to previous years following the formation of the Parali Protection Force and inter-agency monitoring led by district authorities. However, over 1,152 farm fires were still reported on Diwali day, taking total recorded incidents past 4,459 cases despite government alternatives provided to farmers. Meanwhile, severe smog and deteriorating air quality were witnessed in Chennai following Diwali celebrations. Extreme air quality index levels were recorded in areas such as Royapuram, with particulate matter levels creating hazardous conditions. The alarming pollution levels disrupted sporting events, leading to the postponement of the Chennai Open final after international tennis players voiced objections over playing in heavy smog, before skies cleared the following day.
