Giving relief to the farmers, the government has exempted them from legal action on stubble burning.
This provision was there in the Commission Ordinance for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and adjoining areas brought earlier, but in its place, this provision has been removed in the bill which has been passed on Thursday.
The Commission Bill 2021 for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and adjoining areas has been approved by the Parliament.
The Commission Bill-2021 for Air Quality Management in NCR and adjoining areas was approved in the Lok Sabha on Thursday.
Union Environment and Forest Minister Bhupendra Yadav said that farmers who burn stubble will be kept out of criminal acts, which means no case will be registered against them for burning stubble.
According to Yadav, the report of the commission will be presented in Parliament every year.
The farmers agitating against the government had also objected to this provision, which has been removed by the government itself.
