Dear Editor,
Millions of people suffer from various medical problems because of immense pollution caused by stubble burning. If the ban is strictly enforced the farmers will be both forced and motivated to seek cost-effective alternatives. Now that the farmers know that weak, corruption-riddled and votebank-influenced governments are not going to take any action, they go easy on adopting other alternatives. The Pollution Control Board has failed to tackle this menace and as usual passes the buck on other law enforcing agencies. Strict action should be initiated against the offenders and nobody should be allowed to play with the health of common people.
