In this photograph taken on November 26, 2024, a farmer burns straw stubble after harvesting a paddy field on the outskirts of Jind in India's Haryana state. Burning strips the fertility of the fields, has a ruinous impact on India's economy and sends plumes of acrid smoke packed with dangerous cancer-causing particles drifting over a densely-populated belt of northern India, including the 30 million people in the capital New Delhi.
