New Delhi:
Delhi schools and colleges – closed 10 days ago amid the air quality crisis – reopen on Monday.
While the air quality in the national capital has marginally improved, it’s still in the “very poor” category.
Toxic air continues to wrap neighbouring cities too.
All government offices will also open from Monday, Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai said, urging employees to use public transport. Special buses will be deployed for them, he added.
On Monday, the Arvind Kejriwal government had lifted the ban on construction activities.
Earlier today, the Supreme Court yet again gave a series of stern remarks over the continuing air crisis as it told the government: “This is the national capital. Look at the signal we are sending to the world. You have to predict the situation based on statistics… and take action in anticipation so that the situation does not go severe.”
“Even if the pollution level goes down now, we will continue to hear this case and issue directions,” the top court warned.
