CAQM Advises Delhi-NCR Schools to Postpone November-December Sports Over Air Quality
The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) has advised Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh governments to avoid scheduling physical sports activities and competitions in schools during November and December 2026 due to poor air quality concerns. This follows a Supreme Court directive from November 2025 emphasizing the health risks to children participating in outdoor sports during periods of severe pollution. Events already planned may be rescheduled, with authorities urged to ensure students are not disadvantaged by postponements.
