However, Prof. M S Swaminathan, far of Green Revolution, has objected to people blaming farmers for smog and high levels of pollution in Delhi-NCR. In a series of tweets on Monday he said, "I suggest that Delhi, Haryana and UP govts put up Rice BioParks where farmers can convert stubble into income and employment.
