Online learning in Delhi schools up to Class 5 due to pollution: CM Atishi

All schools up to Class 5 in Delhi will switch to online learning till further directions in view of rising pollution levels in the city, Chief Minister Atishi said on Thursday.

With pollution reaching alarming levels, the central pollution watchdog CAQM imposed restrictions under GRAP Stage III in Delhi-NCR earlier on Thursday.

The national capital’s air quality remained in the ‘severe’ category for a second consecutive day, prompting the authorities to impose the stringent anti-pollution measures.

The restrictions will come into force from Friday.
