Two persons were sent to jail in Tosh village, falling under Mathura Tehsil, SDM Sadar/ Joint Magistrate Abhinav J Jain said. Officials are searching for one person involved in the stubble burning incident, he added.
However, District Magistrate Chandra Prakash Singh appealed to farmers to resort to a scientific way of disposing of stubble rather than opting for burning, in a measure to control air pollution and save the environment, as the latter is detrimental to the environment. “We have zero tolerance for stubble burning,” officials are told to keep a watch and take strict action against violators, he added.
