During this, Chief Agriculture Officer Hoshiarpur Dr. Davinder Singh was also present with them.
On this occasion, the Deputy Commissioner and SSP directly communicated with the farmers and motivated them to stop stubble burning.

The officials informed the farmers that they can also remove the stubble from the field using baler machines. During this,
Savek Sharma of Poosav Bio Fuel and Gurpreet Atwal of Rana Enterprise Hoshiarpur were associated with the farmers for stubble management. The Deputy Commissioner told the farmers that there is a ban on harvesting of paddy with combine machines in the district from 7 pm to 10 am.
