Stubble burning was long banned but it's still being practiced and contributes to Delhi's pollution. In fact, one of the demands of the farm protests was to release those who were arrested for stubble burning[1].

> Again, wrong. The 2022 Indian presidential election was held on 18 July 2022 to elect the president of India.

It's not a general election. Only MPs and MLAs get to vote for the president.

There are indeed concerns on job growth but infrastructure growth and economic policies have caught pace in the last decade. There's a reason why Meta, Google and Aramco want to pour money into the country.

Looks like you are trying to respond to be without understanding the topic first and your above comment does not relate.

My reply was to this comment which said:

1. "The ban on crop burning (main cause of Delhi's pollution) was central to the farm bill"

2. "We do not vote for Presidents in India. The president was selected by the ruling party"

Can you please let me know how any of above 2 statements are correct?

Also, to your other comment: >> There's a reason why Meta, Google and Aramco want to pour money into the country.

Companies like Meta, Google and Aramco invest and try to invest in all the counties for their own growth. This is also to target the huge population of India. These companies also invested in China, that does not make China any better. Can you please share a source for "infrastructure growth and economic policies have caught pace"?

The President of India is voted by electoral college. We live in a representative democracy. Just because the President is voted by electoral college doesn't mean they are not elected. Keep in mind that the Prime Minister of India is also not directly elected, they are chosen by the Lok Sabha.

Exactly my point!

Banning doesn't take care of the problem completely unless there is a mechanism to take stubble away from the farmers. If there is no mechanism, people will burn it to get rid.
