Delhi-NCR schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, orders air quality panel | Latest News India

The Commission for the Air Quality Management (CAQM) on Monday ordered that state governments in the Delhi-NCR shall ensure that all classes up to 12th Standard are conducted in a “Hybrid” mode.

The Air Quality panel’s order comes hours after the Supreme Court asked the commission in the Delhi region and adjoining areas to consider restarting physical classes in schools and colleges stating that many students lacked mid-day meals and infrastructure to attend online classes.

The top court, however, refused to relax the anti-pollution GRAP-4 restrictions in Delhi-NCR and said unless it was satisfied that there was a consistent decrease in AQI levels, it could not order curbs below GRAP-3 or GRAP-2.
