🧠 Problem Title: Crop Residue Burning (Parali Burning) Causing Air Pollution and Environmental Damage
📝 Problem Description

After harvesting crops such as rice and wheat, leftover crop residue (parali) is often burned in agricultural fields to clear land quickly for the next crop cycle. It is frequently observed in many farming areas during harvesting seasons., Burning crop residue releases large amounts of smoke and particulate matter into the air. This can reduce air quality and create visibility problems in nearby areas. The smoke may spread over long distances and affect both rural and urban environments., I have observed smoke from crop residue burning in agricultural areas, especially during harvesting periods. The smoke remains in the atmosphere and can contribute to haze and breathing discomfort., Apart from air pollution, continuous burning may also affect soil quality by reducing useful organic matter present in the soil. This problem highlights the gap between agricultural waste management and environmental protection., Managing crop residue in a sustainable way is important to reduce pollution and protect environmental health.
