Fines do not seem to deter farmers from burning stubbles. As northern India struggles from poor air quality, farmers in Haryana's Fatehabad continued to burn stubbles. Stubbles were burned between September 25 and October 21 in more than 180 places in Fatehabad. Farmers who have been identified for burning stubbles have been sent legal notices to stop the practice.
