Delhi Schools Go Online for Nursery-Class 5 Due to 'Severe' Pollution

• Delhi schools ordered online-only classes for students up to Class 5.
• The decision was made due to a sharp rise in air pollution levels in the national capital.
• This new directive replaces the previous option for parents to choose between online or physical classes.
• All government, government-aided, and private recognized schools in Delhi are affected by the order.
• Delhi's Air Quality Index (AQI) was recorded at 457, placing it in the 'severe' category.

Why It Matters: Delhi's severe pollution forces young students into online classes, disrupting their education.
