Amritsar witnesses continued stubble burning despite ban

Despite Punjab government's ban, stubble burning continued in Punjab’s Amritsar on October 20 due to lack of alternatives. Over 90 cases of stubble burning have been reported so far. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has claimed that stubble burning in neighbouring states is one of the main causes of air pollution in the national capital. Meanwhile, air quality remained poor for several consecutive days in the national capital and the NCR region.
