Delhi Pollution: Residents express helplessness

Air quality across Delhi continued to remain in the ‘severe’ category on Tuesday, said the Central Pollution Control Board. While Delhi recorded air pollution levels seven to eight times above safe standards on Monday, schools in the capital have been directed to suspend physical classes, except for classes 10 and 12, until November 10, the odd-even car rationing system returning from November 13 till 20 to combat the severe air pollution. The air quality in Gurugram improved to the poor category on Tuesday morning, with the CPCB reading showing 399 AQI in Sector-51 at 6am. Gurugram District Disaster Management Authority chairman and DC Nishant Kumar Yadav said schools have been ordered to continue online studies so that the education of students is not disrupted.
