All schools closed in Delhi, Noida and Gurugram
A hearing was held in the Supreme Court on air pollution in Delhi on Monday, in which the court came down heavily on the governments. The Delhi government on Sunday ordered the closure of all schools up to class nine and online classes. The government had not banned students from attending school in classes 11 and 12. But after the court’s reprimand, Delhi’s CM Atishi issued an order on Monday saying that classes for students of classes 10 and 12 will also be held online amid rising pollution levels in the city.
