The smog affects humans, plants, vegetables and also results in road accidents. According to official sources, it was often observed that farmers burnt remains of crops. The Punjab Agriculture Department constituted different teams to inspect agriculture fields. The farmers were instructed to avoid burning remains of paddy fields.
