There are many reasons for this, some mythological and commercial

Mythological is that they feel, by doing this, they are making clouds which will result in the rainfall, which is going to be beneficial for their crops.

The Other thing is, they get wood for their household,

This is a very common practice in Uttrakhand. But this seems to be the biggest, as the smoke is increasing and I  can feel the suffocation now.
