flag India's Supreme Court demands stricter anti-stubble burning measures, including jail time, ahead of winter pollution peak.

flag India's Supreme Court has urged stricter enforcement against stubble burning, suggesting jail time for violators to deter the practice, especially in the Delhi-NCR region. flag The court directed pollution control bodies to submit anti-pollution plans within three weeks ahead of winter and demanded states fill vacant positions in their boards within three months. flag Chief Justice BR Gavai emphasized that farmers' vital role in food production does not exempt them from environmental responsibility, calling for stronger penalties and long-term solutions. flag The court questioned the immunity granted to farmers and pushed for a national policy with real enforcement, highlighting the potential of stubble as biofuel. flag The case will be revisited on October 8.
