(Kurukshetra News) Babain. Block agriculture officer Shashikant said as per the orders of the district deputy commissioner, if any farmer is found setting crop residue on fire, an FIR will be registered with immediate effect and legal action will be taken against him.
During his visit to villages in Babain area, Shashikant told farmers that an FIR has been registered against eight farmers of Babain block for burning crop residue. After registering the FIR, the farmer cannot sell his crop or avail the benefits of various types of agricultural schemes run by the government for the next year by making a red entry on the Meri Fasal Mera Byora portal.
He appealed to all farmers to make proper use of crop residue by making clods using balers or mixing them with soil using super seeders or any other agricultural equipment to increase the fertility of the land. He said the Haryana government is giving Rs 1,000 per acre to farmers who do not burn crop residue.
All farmers should take full advantage of this scheme and avoid air pollution so that common people can stay healthy and breathe free air because asthma patients are the ones who face most of the problems due to this air pollution. Seeking cooperation from the general public, he said if any farmer is found setting crop residue on fire, immediately inform the police administration or agriculture department to prevent air pollution and keep everyone healthy.
