Multiple outlets report wide fluctuations in farm fire incidents in Punjab. Times of India says farm fire numbers rise sharply in a short period, jumping from 98 to 584 in one day, before later figures show a decline. It also separately reports Punjab’s farm fires falling to 151.

India Today reports a higher overall count for Punjab, citing 1,612 farm fires and saying Tarn Taran leads with 258 incidents. It also adds that 258 cases have been lodged, indicating action alongside monitoring.

Across the coverage, the main differences are the time windows and what each outlet chooses to emphasise: some lead with the day-to-day surge, others with the later reduced figure, and one focuses on totals and district ranking. Together, the reports point to ongoing tracking of farm-related fires and varying incident counts depending on the reporting period.
