CAQM urges NCR States to deploy drones to monitor stubble burning
The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) directed the NCR States — Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan — to deploy drones to monitor stubble burning. Surveys are to run from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m., when farmers more often try to evade satellite detection, and to focus on identified hotspot villages and fire-prone paddy areas ahead of the crop-residue burning season.
