As Punjab struggles to stop the rampant stubble burning in farms, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Thursday invoked the verses of the holy Gurbani to urge farmers not to burn crop residue as it was polluting the air, reported news agency PTI.

"We are burning our oxygen. The smoke first passes through the lungs of our children and then it goes elsewhere," Bhagwant Mann said at an event here in Ludhiana while referring to stubble burning and bursting of firecrackers, reported PTI.
