    I heard once that it gets so bad in November in large part due to farmers in Punjab and such clearing their fields by burning the dead crops on it, something like that. Is that true?

      Yeah that’s a huge contributor. Agriculture in Punjab specifically is very inefficient and held back by ancient agriculture practices.
