We should consider using stubble to make paper or cardboard. Or we can set up thermal power plants where we can use stubble as a fuel in way that reduces pollution. Tall chimneys would promote a higher level of combustion and reduce particle emission.
We should
also study how to make bioplastics out of stubble.

Finding
uses for agricultural waste is essential to reduce stubble burning and
resulting air pollution.
Leading
educational and research institutes should study this issue. It is of national
importance.
A
Drastic Alternative
If we fail
to solve the air pollution problem, we should consider other alternatives. One
alternative is to shift the capital to another location such as Dr Ambedkar
Nagar, (Mhow). I believe that it has a
lot of Government land. It is more central than New Delhi. It
is only 23 KM away from Indore and is well connected by rail and road. Creating a new and modern city would
contribute to our economic growth. Perhaps, we can plan to hold the first
Olympics in India in Mhow!
We do not
have to move everything out of New Delhi. A judicious move of selected
Government entities is all that is necessary.
