💨 Abstract

The Centre has increased fines for farmers burning crop residue in Delhi-NCR due to deteriorating air quality. Farmers with more than 5 acres of land face a penalty of Rs 30,000, while those with less than 2 acres will pay Rs 5,000 (up from Rs 2,500). This move follows the Supreme Court's tough stance on the issue.
