Punjab on Wednesday reported five farm fire incidents -- taking the total count to 75. Of this total, Amritsar alone reported 43 cases. Amritsar is followed by Patiala and Tarn Taran with nine cases of farm fire incidents each.
Surprisingly, 30 cases (40 percent) - of the total 75 farm fire incidents- were such wherein no crop burning had happened but Punjab Remote Sensing Centre (PRSC) had reported the cases therein.
This anomaly was discovered in the action taken report by the Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB).

People living along the Sutlej near Harike keep watch on the riverbanks throughout the night. Having endured the devastating floods that have struck Punjab since 1988, they now live in constant fear of facing the same calamity again.
Though the Punjab Health Department has rolled out administering rabies vaccines at Aam Aadmi Clinics (AACs), the patients are continued to be referred to Community Health Centres (CHCs) or Sub-Divisional Hospitals for the first dose -- Anti-Rabies Serum (ARS).
ARS, said the experts, is crucial in Grade 3 dog bite cases, and is not available at AACs. The serum can only be administered along with the first dose of the vaccine in severe bite cases to prevent the virus from spreading further.
Consequent upon the non-availability of the ARS, the dog bite patients have to first visit CHC or sub divisional hospitals - which are in limited numbers in a respective health blocks.
It is only after getting the first dose from a secondary health care institute, a patient of dog bite can get follow up doses of anti-Rabies vaccine from AACs.
It is pertinent to mention that Punjab reports nearly 840 cases of dog bites every day, and as per the epidemiologists, 60-70 percent of dog bites cases are that of grade -3 requiring ARS.
