Punjab Sees Unusual Pause in Farm Fires Amid NASA’s Data Halt
Punjab has experienced an unexpected five-day pause in farm fire incidents, with no new cases reported since September 30. This information comes from the Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB). Typically, the peak paddy harvest season in Punjab witnesses many farm fires caused by stubble burning, which contributes to air pollution in the region.
The pause in farm fires is unusual and noteworthy, especially as it coincides with the annual harvest period when fire incidents rise sharply. The lack of new fires might indicate effective control measures or other environmental factors at play.
At the same time, NASA has stopped providing updates on related environmental data, including satellite monitoring of fire events. This halt comes amid ongoing issues linked to the US government shutdown, limiting access to some real-time earth observation data.
The combination of the pause in farm fire cases and NASA’s halted data updates has caused some uncertainty among environmental observers and local authorities. Experts are watching closely to understand the implications of these developments for air quality and agricultural practices in Punjab.
