The Delhi government announced the closure of all schools except for classes 10th and 12th on Sunday due to air pollution. All classes will take place online until further orders, Delhi CM Atishi has informed on the microblogging site X. The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) has announced Stage 4 of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP). The air quality in Delhi remained in the “severe” category for the past five days which prompted authorities to impose stringent anti-pollution measures starting Monday.
“With the imposition of GRAP-4 from tomorrow, physical classes shall be discontinued for all students, apart from Class 10 and 12. All schools will hold online classes, until further orders,” said the minister.

The Haryana government had also issued an order in this regard on Saturday due to increasing pollution. All the Deputy Commissioners were authorised to assess the level of pollution in their respective districts and temporarily close classes up to class five in schools. The Public Relations Department of the state government said that a letter has been written to all the District Deputy Commissioners by the Directorate of School Education in this regard.
Sonipat District Deputy Commissioner Dr. Manoj Kumar issued orders to close schools up to class five on Monday due to poor air quality in the district. Online classes will continue during this time, he added. There is no update regarding the schools of Faridabad and Gurugram yet.
