Disgraceful!

 

Last Night an agricultural reasearch establishment burnt about 50rai+ of sugarcane. This is a Government funded facility and god knows why they need to farm like this anyway as its really a school for which there is actually an Agricultural school right next door actually. Because of this pm2.5 was back up to 198 this morning. Even the dam officials are burning the stuff. You wpuld think a reasearch place for agricultural with all the fancy equiptment knows that burning regularly destroys the soil and does nothing for surrounding wildlife and the people. There is no hope!!
