In Punjab's Fazilka district, rising groundwater levels have caused waterlogging in agricultural fields, preventing farmers from using machinery like tractors and balers to manage paddy straw. This has left farmers with limited options other than burning stubble. The issue was highlighted during a visit by the Commission for Air Quality Management amid worsening air quality in Delhi-NCR, as they inspected stubble management practices in the region.
