According to the commission, the cases of stubble burning have come down by 64.49 percent in Punjab, 18.28 percent in Haryana, and 47.61 percent in eight districts of Uttar Pradesh included in the NCR. This figure of CAQM is based on the protocol issued by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) for the NCR and its associated areas.
