Stubble burning in Punjab is a significant contributor to air pollution, particularly during the post-monsoon season. The high concentration of incidents in districts like Tarn Taran, Amritsar, and Ferozepur poses severe risks to air quality, potentially affecting public health and exacerbating respiratory issues. The environmental impact extends beyond Punjab, as the smoke can travel to neighbouring states, including Delhi, worsening the air quality in the National Capital Region (NCR). The imposition of fines and legal actions aims to deter farmers from continuing the practice, but the effectiveness of these measures remains to be seen.
