 "NASA satellite images show widespread stubble burning across parts of North India")
Delhi Environment Minister Imran Hussain on Wednesday released recent satellite images from
**NASA** showing widespread stubble burning across north India. “I have consistently maintained that crop residue (stubble) burning in parts of northern India leads to severe deterioration in air quality in Delhi-NCR…the latest photographs from NASA proves it beyond doubt,” Hussain said in a statement.

The mist will occur in next three days,” he said.
Stubble burning in parts of northern India could be the reason behind Delhi air quality deterioration.
