The Ludhiana administration on Friday directed officials to adopt zero tolerance to prevent stubble burning and conduct a joint patrolling with the police.
Deputy Commissioner Jitendra Jorwal emphasised strict enforcement of orders to curb stubble burning in the district. Senior Superintendent of Police Khanna Ashwini Gotyal also mandated round-the-clock vigilance in the fields to combat the issue.
Jorwal highlighted the need for intensive meetings with village 'sarpanchs' and organizing foot marches with police officers. Additionally, nodal officers will be deployed to villages to discourage stubble burning effectively.
