In Kalar Majra, a village near Nabha in Punjab, not a single straw was burnt. Close to 60 families farm about 700 acres of land and chose to plough the stubble back to the coil.

“The government chose our village as a model and gave all the machinery needed to manage the crop residue,” Bir Dalvinder Singh, a Kalar Majra farmer who persuaded his neighbours to heed the government’s call against burning stubble told The Times Of India.
