Delhi Air Pollution: Supreme Court Urges CAQM to Reassess School Reopenings Amid GRAP IV Measures The Supreme Court has directed the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) to reevaluate restrictions on physical classes in schools and educational institutions in Delhi-NCR, imposed due to severe air pollution. Here's why this decision matters: Midday Meals Disruption: Many students lose access to crucial midday meals due to school closures. Limited Access to Online Education: A significant number of students lack the electronic devices needed for remote learning. Health Risks at Home vs. School: Most homes lack air purifiers, making it equally hazardous for children to stay at home. The court also emphasized continued enforcement of GRAP IV restrictions, including bans on construction and curbs on polluting vehicles, until a consistent AQI improvement is observed. Authorities have been warned about lapses in enforcement, with show-cause notices on the way. Additionally, states were instructed to use labour cess funds to support construction workers impacted by the restrictions. Immediate action is expected to ensure their subsistence during this challenging period. While the AQI in Delhi has improved slightly to ‘poor’ (281), areas still record readings in the ‘very poor’ category, underlining the persistent air quality crisis. #AirPollution #DelhiNCR #SupremeCourt #CAQM #GRAPIV #Environment #SustainableDevelopment #EducationForAll

Are students truly safe from Delhi’s polluted air while learning from home? Delhi’s air quality continues to make headlines, with the AQI frequently reaching ‘severe’ levels. Authorities have responded by implementing hybrid learning models in schools, aiming to shield children from hazardous outdoor air.
