The Bharatiya Kisan Sangh (BKS), a farmers’ organisation affiliated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), on Wednesday (November 11, 2026) welcomed the Supreme Court’s observations and suggestions on stubble burning and air pollution in Delhi-NCR. The organisation urged State governments and administrative authorities to implement the court’s recommendations and stop penalising farmers for stubble burning.
A Bench comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi, during a recent hearing, observed that stubble burning was one of several contributors to Delhi-NCR’s air pollution, with vehicular emissions and industrial pollution also playing a significant role. Welcoming the court’s suggestion of establishing a procurement mechanism for crop residue, Mr. The Bench referred to the clear skies witnessed in Delhi during the COVID-19 lockdown, despite instances of stubble burning, to highlight the need to examine other major sources of pollution.
Reacting to the Supreme Court’s observations, BKS All India General Secretary Mohini Mohan Mishra said the court’s remarks underscored the need to look beyond stubble burning and identify the other major sources of pollution. Mishra said the government should introduce a system similar to the Minimum Support Price (MSP) framework for agricultural produce.
