Delhi Pollution: The Delhi government has instructed schools to conduct classes in hybrid mode for students up to Class 5 amid rising air pollution levels. The move comes following the enforcement of GRAP-3 restrictions in the national capital on Tuesday.
Under the new directive, schools have been asked to conduct classes both online and offline to limit children’s exposure to the toxic air. The move is aimed at safeguarding younger students, who are considered more vulnerable to respiratory illnesses caused by pollution.
According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), the city’s overall Air Quality Index (AQI) breached the ‘severe’ category, prompting authorities to activate additional emergency measures under GRAP-3. These include a ban on construction and demolition activities, restrictions on the use of diesel generator sets, and tighter checks on vehicular emissions.
