- Strict Action to be taken against the offenders setting crop residue on fire
Nawanshahar: Taking serious note of the offenders setting crop residues on fire, Deputy Commissioner SBS Nagar, NPS Randhawa has asked the Namberdars of the district to inform the stubble burning incidents immediately to the administration.
Deputy commissioner who himself caught three incidents of stubble burning in the district during his field visit said that despite making repeated appeals to the farmers for not to set crop residue on fire, satellite imaging is reporting such incidents. To curb the incidents effectively, we will now use the services of Nambardars who are associated with the revenue department for many revenue related works.
Cautioning the farmers once again of the after effects announced by the Chief Secretary during the online review meeting, he said that the offenders would have to face the difficulties like renew of Arms License, Passport and of driving license. Apart from that, they would have to deprive of the benefits of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi or any other announced by the government.
Red entry would also be made in land records of such farmers that further cause problems in renewal of crop limits with banks and sale of land, added the Deputy Commissioner.
