Incidents of stubble burning by farmers are being seen in many states at this time. However, farmers have also been made aware by the government that the burning of stubble also harms the field and also pollutes the environment. But even after all this, there are reports of stubble burning in many places. In view of this, the government in Uttar Pradesh has taken a big decision.

In Uttar Pradesh, if farmers are seen burning stubble in the field, then the benefits of the “Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana” given to them by the Agriculture Department will be terminated. Let us tell you that this decision has been taken in the Gorakhpur district of Uttar Pradesh state.

By the way, tough decisions have been taken by the government in the past regarding stubble burning. Under this, if someone is caught burning stubble, then he will have to pay a fine of two and a half thousand rupees for land up to 1 acre and a fine of up to 5000 for land above 1 acre.
