Small producer Aashish Sharma has been burning produce straw in SAMALKHA, India, recently despite being aware of its effects on local air quality and in New Delhi, the most polluted money in the world, which is about three hours away by road.
His asthma brother needs a nebuliser to inject medication straight into his lungs because the air quality in Sharma’s community in Haryana condition is so poor.
We are aware that burning grass is bad for our parents’ and children’s health, according to Sharma, 22, who lives in a village in Karnal that is well-known for growing wheat and rice.
However, he would have to pay about US$ 100 for his four-acre farm in order to use machines to clean his field, which would be his only other option to burning grain residues.
Renting a system typically requires two weeks of waiting. They claimed that the village’s small farmers could not afford to purchase one for nearly 300,000 rupees($ 3,606 ), highlighting the difficulty authorities face in trying to improve the air in northern India every winter.
