Determined to check environmental pollution for a healthy Punjab, the Cooperative Department would buy a number of equipment to stop stubble burning in SBS Nagar district in Punjab, reports Tribune News Service.
These equipment are happy seeders, rotavators, zero tillage drill and tractors. A source says equipment would be given to farmers on a negligible rent.
A cooperative official said a meeting of the secretaries of 142 cooperative societies was held recently to discuss the problem of stubble burning.
