Delhi Pollution Blame Game Intensifies After Punjab Sees Sevenfold Spike In Farm Fires On Diwali

Delhi's pollution crisis has triggered a fresh political blame game following a sharp spike in stubble-burning incidents in Punjab during Diwali. Punjab recorded 1,152 farm fires on Diwali, more than seven times the previous day's count and the highest single-day figure this season. Delhi's average AQI stood at 376, placing it in the very poor category. The BJP has accused the AAP of orchestrating a deliberate spike in farm fires and demanded an FIR and probe. The AAP has rejected the allegations, accusing the BJP of targeting Punjab and its farmers while claiming that stubble-burning incidents have declined significantly.
