'Hazardous' AQI: Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad schools shift Nursery–class V classes online

Delhi, Noida and Ghaziabad have shifted classes from Nursery to Class V entirely online as hazardous AQI levels persist across NCR under GRAP restrictions. Authorities have mandated hybrid classes for students of Classes VI to IX and Class XI, while Classes X and XII will continue attending school for exams and practicals. The decision prioritises children’s health as pollution remains severe, with officials directing strict compliance across government and private schools.
