💨 Abstract

The Centre has doubled fines for stubble burning, a major source of pollution in northwest India, particularly Delhi-NCR, in response to a Supreme Court rebuke for making environmental laws "toothless". The new fines range from Rs 5,000 to Rs 30,000, depending on land holding size, and come into effect immediately. The notification also amends the adjudication process against environmental polluters.
