After harvesting the crops, the farmers set them on fire which results in stubble burning releasing widespread smoke and harms the environment. To prevent this emphasis is being laid on producing clean fuel from the burnt stubble.

Patel informed that the Madhya Pradesh government has decided to open petrol pumps in 25 agricultural produce mandis in the state. The process will be completed soon by a selection of the mandis as per requirement. Opening petrol pumps in the mandis will save the farmers from facing several problems.
