Gurugram, May 2 -- The district administration has constituted multi-level committees to monitor stubble burning and directed the agriculture department to ensure swift FIR registration in identified cases of crop residue burning, officials said. At a review meeting on Friday, deputy commissioner (DC) Uttam Singh said that any instance of crop residue burning must be acted upon immediately to prevent environmental damage. Singh said that farmers violating norms will be flagged on the Meri Fasal Mera Byora portal. "Such action would have serious consequences, including disqualification from selling crops in mandis for the next two years and ineligibility for benefits under agriculture department schemes," he said. The DC also directed officials to ensure accountability, stating that if field teams fail to take timely action, show-cause notices will be issued against the officers concerned. He directed authorities to maintain strict monitoring in identified hotspots where incidents have been reported. Singh also urged farmers to adopt sustainable alternatives to manage crop residue instead of burning it. He encouraged the use of available agricultural machinery and techniques to incorporate residue back into the soil, thereby contributing to environmental conservation. The meeting was attended by deputy director (agriculture) Dr Anil Tanwar, regional officer of Haryana State Pollution Control Board (HSPCB) Siddharth, and Akanksha Tanwar, among other officials. The action comes in compliance with National Green Tribunal (NGT) directions ordering surveillance on stubble burning sites. Officials said committees have been formed at the district, sub-divisional, block, and village levels to monitor and prevent stubble burning in the district. The district-level committee will be headed by the additional deputy commissioner. The panel will be responsible for supervision and coordination of anti-stubble burning measures....
