Delhi-NCR Implements Stage 3 Pollution Measures Including Hybrid Classes for Young Students
Delhi-NCR is experiencing severe air pollution following Diwali celebrations, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) reaching very poor levels, including a peak above 600. In response, the Commission for Air Quality Management has implemented Stage 3 of the Graded Response Action Plan, enforcing restrictions such as a ban on non-essential construction and limiting older vehicles. Schools up to Class 5 have been directed to adopt hybrid learning, allowing students to attend classes either online or in person, though no full school closures have been ordered.
