Bhagwant Mann, Punjab Government,
Punjab News: Moga district has turned into a model for change under the Mann Government. Deputy Commissioner Sagar Setia and SSP Ajay Gandhi stepped down from their offices, climbed onto tractors, and joined farmers in the fields. They demonstrated stubble tilling techniques after harvest and encouraged alternatives to burning crop residue. Their act was not a photo opportunity but a sincere appeal to farmers that teamwork between administration and cultivators can solve any problem. The event symbolized hope that Punjab can shift from smoke to sustainability with unity and awareness.
The officers conveyed a powerful emotional message: burning stubble is not a compulsion, it’s a habit that can be changed. They emphasized that cooperation and education, not punishment, will bring real results. Their presence in the fields was a statement that the administration stands with farmers, not above them. Farmers welcomed this gesture and joined hands to promote environment-friendly methods. Moga’s move sent a strong example to other districts, showing that leadership means participation, not just orders.
The Mann Government’s governance style focuses on working directly with people. From improving schools to launching health services and now protecting the environment, it’s all about ground-level action. The Moga initiative mirrors this philosophy — leadership by example. Officials proved that the administration’s strength lies in connection, not command. “If the farmer is Punjab’s backbone, then nature is its soul,” Mann had said earlier, and Moga’s officers lived this belief through their actions.
Stubble burning is not just an agricultural issue; it’s a life-threatening problem. Every year, thousands of road accidents occur in North India due to smog from crop fires. By stopping the practice, Punjab can ensure cleaner air and safer roads. The Mann Government’s campaign is not limited to farmers — it’s a public safety mission. The Moga initiative directly connects environment conservation with saving lives, creating awareness that clean air is everyone’s right and responsibility.
DC Sagar Setia informed that the administration has distributed around 320 new farm machines this year, in addition to 4,800 existing ones, all available on subsidy. Stubble storage centers have been developed across 40 villages covering 62 acres. To monitor burning incidents, 27 cluster officers and 152 nodal officers have been deployed. These steps ensure that farmers have both the tools and the support they need. The focus is not on punishment, but on prevention through accessibility and awareness.
When government officials work shoulder to shoulder with farmers, it creates trust. The image of officers driving tractors with farmers touched many hearts. It showed that the administration is not an authority, but a partner in progress. Villagers said it was the first time they felt government presence not as inspection, but as cooperation. This emotional connection is what builds a “New Punjab,” where every hand contributes to growth, and every field becomes a symbol of shared pride.
Moga’s example marks the beginning of a greener Punjab. The Mann Government’s efforts from subsidies to awareness drives are changing the mindset of farmers. The idea is simple yet powerful: stop the smoke, grow the green. As the initiative spreads across districts, Punjab is redefining progress not with pollution, but with purity. This campaign is more than administration; it’s the identity of a new Punjab, where compassion, environment, and development move together towards a cleaner and brighter tomorrow.
