According to you, crop burning is in Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan but nowadays there is no wind, so the smoke can't come here from these states,” the bench retorted. The NGT also issued notices to the environment and urban development secretaries of Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan and directed them to remain present before it on the next date of hearing on November 8.
