LAHORE: The Punjab Agriculture Department (PAD) has reiterated its warning to the growers for not putting rice stubbles on fire as it generates smog. These stubbles instead should be buried in the land as it will increase fertility of the land.

He said that field assistances will monitor the burning of rice stubbles on daily basis and report would be submitted to the divisional directors concerned.
