Only farmers not responsible for Delhi pollution, reiterate farmer leaders amidst rising car sales

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 12 (IANS) For years, farmers in Punjab, Haryana, and western Uttar Pradesh have found themselves at the centre of Delhi-NCR's annual pollution debate especially if one of these states were ruled by a different political party over the issue of burning crop stubble between agricultural cycles. Farmer organisations have repeatedly argued that while stubble burning contributes to seasonal pollution, it has been unfairly portrayed as the principal culprit. Now, there is a cautious sigh of relief among the farmers of the region as the onus shifts to traffic emissions, with a prominent union leader calling for family planning of cars. Welcoming the Supreme Courts intervention this week, Bharatiya Kisan Sangh (BKS) General Secretary Mohini Mohan Mishra asked states to withdraw such cases against farmers and return any fines imposed on them with interest. The strong objection raised by the Supreme Court against blaming only farmers for pollution makes it clear that farmers are not the primary cause of pollution, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)-affiliated farmer organisation leader said. The administration should pay attention to pollution from vehicles. There should be family planning for cars with respect to the numbers owned by a family, he emphasised. The All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS), the peasant wing of the Communist Party of India (CPI), meanwhile, blamed government policies penalising the farming community. Agriculture has been painted as a polluting job, while legislations are framed to support corporates, AIKS President Rajan Kshirsagar alleged. Weve been repeatedly stressing that stubble burning is not the principal reason for pollution in Delhi and the NCR, as it is evident, he added. The Supreme Court's observation, while hearing on Delhi-NCR's pollution crisis, questioned the tendency to place the entire burden of blame on farmers, while a report has highlighted transport as the largest local pollution contributor, while stubble burning's impact declined closer to Diwali. Levels of nitrogen dioxide in the air peaked during evening rush hours and stayed high until midnight, reflecting the impact of traffic congestion, according to an analysis by the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE). The apex court observed that stubble burning is only one among several contributors to deteriorating air quality and drew attention to the much larger challenge posed by vehicular emissions. Each winter, images of stubble-burning fields dominate television screens, often reinforcing the perception that farmers are chiefly responsible for the Capital's toxic air. The bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant, Justice Joymalya Bagchi, and Justice V. Mohana has now directed Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan governments to submit plans covering vehicular movement, emission standards and measures to curb polluting vehicles. The Supreme Court noted that during the Covid-19 lockdown, stubble burning had not entirely ceased, yet Delhi witnessed significantly clearer skies, suggesting that factors beyond farm fires play a decisive role in the pollution crisis. The apex court's remarks also echoed scientific assessments. Data suggested that stubble burning accounted for around 14 per cent of Delhi's pollution contribution on November 5, while transportation remained one of the largest local sources of emissions. The CSE has consistently argued that Delhi's air quality problem is multi-source in nature, stemming from vehicular pollution, industrial emissions, construction dust, waste burning and adverse meteorological conditions, with crop residue burning acting as an aggravating rather than exclusive factor. Earlier reports this year by the CSE said that between 1,800 and 2,000 new vehicles are added to Delhis roads daily, where, as of 2024-2025, its total registered vehicle count crossed 15.6 million, with a significant surge in private two-wheelers and cars. Additionally, the number of registered vehicles in Delhi matches the combined total of registered vehicles in the three metropolitan cities of Mumbai, Kolkata, and Chennai. According to the Economic Survey of Delhi 2025-26, an additional 643,000 vehicles were added in the national capital, which incidentally is the largest single-year increase in nine years. Farmer unions emphasise that the larger lesson emerging is that Delhi's pollution crisis cannot be solved through a single-point blame game; while largely acknowledging the need to reduce stubble burning, they urge for solutions to be practical, incentive-based and equitable.

Charge sheet filed against granite baron Veeramani in POCSO case, HC to hear CBI probe plea on Nov 30

Digital Desk | Chennai, Nov 12 (IANS) Tamil Nadu Police have filed a charge sheet before the Madras High Court in a case against granite baron Veeramani involving allegations of sexual abuse of minors, while investigations into several other cases against him and his associates continue. Seven cases have been registered against Veeramani under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Seven of his associates have also been booked under the provisions of the Act in connection with the alleged abuse. A Special Investigation Team (SIT) is conducting the investigation. According to police, the charge sheet was submitted 60 days after the registration of the first POCSO case against Veeramani. The filing marks a development in the investigation, although inquiries into the remaining cases are still under way. Police informed the court that charge sheets in two more POCSO cases would be submitted within the next 10 days. The proposed filings would bring the number of cases in which charge sheets have been submitted against Veeramani to three. The timeline outlined by police indicates that the SIT is proceeding with separate charge sheets as its investigation into each case progresses. Citing the seriousness of the cases, police also told the court that the government had appointed three special public prosecutors to handle proceedings connected with the investigation and prosecution. The appointments were made in view of the gravity of the allegations involving children, police said. The investigation is meanwhile facing a separate legal challenge through petitions seeking the transfer of the cases to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The petitioners have asked the High Court to entrust the probe to the central agency. The High Court said it would take up those petitions on November 30. No order transferring the investigation was announced in the account of the proceedings, and the SIT continues to investigate the cases. The charge sheet submission and the assurance on two further filings set out the immediate course of the police investigation ahead of the hearing on the transfer petitions. While police have outlined the progress of the probe, the material provided does not specify the individual charges detailed in the charge sheet or the alleged role of each associate. The November 30 hearing will take up the request for a change in the investigating agency.

Digital Desk | Chennai, Nov 12 (IANS) Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, C. Joseph Vijay, is expected to participate in Childrens Day celebrations at a middle school in Chennais Kolathur Assembly constituency on Friday, as the School Education Department prepares to distribute cakes to around 61 lakh students, teachers and non-teaching staff across the State. Although Childrens Day is observed nationwide on November 14, the celebrations in government schools have been advanced to November 13 as November 14 has been declared a holiday and schools have been instructed to organise their programmes accordingly. According to information on the proposed programme, TN CM Vijay is likely to distribute cakes to children at the Kolathur school and join the celebrations. His participation would mark the launch of the cake distribution initiative announced earlier for Childrens Day. The School Education Department has made arrangements to supply each student with a cake weighing 45 grams. A greeting card carrying the Chief Ministers Childrens Day message will also be distributed along with it. The statewide arrangements cover approximately 61 lakh beneficiaries, including students, teachers and non-teaching employees. The department has directed education officials to coordinate the distribution and ensure that the celebrations are conducted smoothly. District-level monitoring officers have been appointed to oversee the exercise. They have been instructed to coordinate activities connected with cake distribution and monitor the conduct of the programme in their respective districts. Chief Educational Officers and other officials have also been asked to work together to ensure that the arrangements are implemented properly. The monitoring mechanism is intended to support coordination between schools and district education authorities during the celebrations. In Chennai, approximately three lakh students studying in government schools, Corporation schools and government-aided institutions are expected to receive cakes. Distribution in these institutions will form part of the wider Childrens Day programme organised by the department. CM Vijay had earlier announced that schoolchildren would receive cakes on the occasion. Preparations for Fridays celebrations follow that announcement, with the department coordinating both the distribution arrangements and the accompanying greeting cards. Earlier reports had indicated that the Chief Minister would inaugurate the initiative at a school event. The latest information points to a middle school in Kolathur as the venue for his participation. The name of the school and the detailed schedule of the Chief Ministers visit were not specified in the information available.

Police freeze ex-DMK MLA's 29 bank accounts in TN school bribery case

Digital Desk | Chennai, Nov 12 (IANS) Chennais Central Crime Branch has frozen 29 bank accounts belonging to former DMK MLA Muthukumar as its investigation into an alleged Rs 100-crore bribery case involving private schools widens to examine financial transactions linked to former Minister Anbil Mahesh and other accused. According to reports, police have seized Rs 4.5 crore from accounts associated with Muthukumar, who also serves as the state treasurer of a private schools association. Investigators have additionally frozen 20 bank accounts linked to another DMK leader, Arasakumar, reportedly containing a total of Rs 4 lakh. The action comes amid an ongoing investigation into allegations that substantial sums were collected from private schools as bribes. Anbil Mahesh, former school education minister in the DMK government, was arrested in connection with the case and put in Puzhal Central Prison. Muthukumar, who had allegedly been evading arrest, surrendered before a special court in Chennai on October 28. The court remanded him in judicial custody until November 12. His current remand period ends on Thursday, with any extension requiring a further court order. The Central Crime Branch registered a case against Anbil Mahesh, Arasakumar and Muthukumar and began examining their alleged involvement in the collection of money from private educational institutions. The reported freezing of accounts marks a significant development in the financial investigation. Police are also reportedly scrutinising bank accounts belonging to Anbil Mahesh. Depending on the findings of that examination, investigators could move to freeze his accounts as well. However, the information available does not establish that such action has already been taken against the former minister. The financial scrutiny is intended to establish the movement of funds and determine whether transactions involving the accused are connected to the alleged bribery. The reported amounts found in or seized from individual accounts should not, by themselves, be treated as proof that the money represents proceeds of the alleged offence. While the overall allegation concerns Rs 100 crore, the reported action against Muthukumars accounts relates to Rs 4.5 crore, with a further Rs 4 lakh reportedly held in Arasakumars frozen accounts. The allegations remain under investigation. Further developments will depend on the examination of banking records and subsequent court proceedings.
