The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) in the National Capital Region (NCR) and adjoining areas has informed the Supreme Court that it has developed a framework for the prevention and control of paddy stubble burning and effective management techniques for paddy stubble. The Commission said the high incidence of paddy stubble burning in Punjab and Haryana has been a matter of serious concern and has been contributing adversely to the air quality scenario in the NCR, particularly during the winter. According to the Commission's data Punjab farm fire count has dropped to 49,922 in 2022, from 83,002 in 2020, and for Haryana from 4,202 in 2020 to 3,661 in 2022.

To prevent increasing pollution in the capital, the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) has issued an order that BS-III and BS-IV diesel buses will not be allowed to enter Delhi from November 1. Only BS-VI buses of CNG, electric and diesel will be allowed to operate. This rule will also apply to private buses as well. With the implementation of this rule, more than 60 per cent of buses will stop operating, which will have a direct impact on passengers.
