Top experts explain,“Burnt area gives a better picture of impact.” The reductions reflected by burnt-area mapping roughly 25-35% (from 2019 to 2025 in Punjab, Haryana) are far smaller than those suggested by fire-count data, which show declines of over 90-95% in both states.

Burnt area increased in Haryana from 2024 to 2025, even as the stubble burning share (active farm fire count) shared by government agencies showed a sharp drop. This reveals irregularities in data collection. Read here for the full report. https://t.co/LtnKfMMiCN

At Yamuna Vihar Phase II STP, DPCC found 140 MPN/100 ml faecal coliform. CPCB found 2.2×10⁷. A 1.6 lakh × difference...

All of Delhi's 37 STPs failed to meet required parameters after an inspection this year. The fecal coliform levels after treatment were over 300 times permitted. The same water goes to the Yamuna. Importantly, DPCC cleared these same STPs after its tests. https://t.co/OHXIz7Ox8t
