Haryana has made great improvement in crop residue management, recording a 39 per cent drop in active fire locations (AFLs) during the last paddy season compared to 2023. Even with the achievement, the Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Department has set a target to reduce AFLs further. For this, it has focused on 10 districts of the state where the maximum AFLs were reported last year.
