Stubble burning in Haryana: 67 cases reported yesterday

India Nov 09, 2025

Haryana just saw its worst day this season for stubble burning—67 new cases in a single Saturday, pushing the total since September to 333.
Most of these happened in November, with Fatehabad, Jind, and Hisar topping the list.

But there's a silver lining

Here's some good news: even with this recent jump, Haryana has cut stubble burning by over 65% compared to last year (959 cases then vs. 333 now).
Officials credit proactive steps for making a real difference.

Air quality has taken a hit

But there's still work to do.
The latest fires have seriously hurt air quality—Bahadurgarh recorded India's worst AQI at 436 ("severe"), while Delhi and several Haryana cities also saw AQIs above 300.
So while things are improving overall, the impact on the air is still being felt.
