AAP, BJP engage in blame game over Delhi pollution and Punjab stubble burning

Delhi minister Kapil Mishra has raised concerns over a sudden rise in stubble-burning incidents in Punjab during Diwali. AAP officials responded by asserting that smoke from Punjab cannot reach Delhi quickly. Mishra also claimed that farmers alleged fields were being set on fire amid their celebrations. Punjab faced its highest number of farm fires during this season, with 1,152 incidents recorded on Diwali.
