To ensure zero stubble burning cases in Derabassi Sub Division, the Sub Divisional Administration has geared up for crop residue management in advance. Today, a meeting was conducted with Baler Operators and Industrial Units having consumption of stubble bales by Sub Divisional Magistrate Dr Himanshu Gupta in his office.
SDM Gupta urged the Baler operators and Industrial units for better cooperation to clear the fields of the farmers as early as possible to keep the fields ready for the next crop. He said that a sufficient number of dumping sites have already been identified in Sub Division’s villages for keeping stock of bales.
Insisting upon mapping of baler operators and industrial units for smooth supply of bales from the fields of farmers to dumping sites, he said that this would be helpful during the peak season to prevent the stubble from burning. Others who attended the meeting included Dr Danish Kumar from the Agricultural Department, Baler Operators Sukhdev Singh, Kulwinder Singh and Tejinder Singh, Industrial units’ representatives from Nahar Chemical, Nachiketa Papers, YCD Gaurav Fuel etc.
