School Closed News: Check Updates On Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Faridabad, And Ghaziabad Schools

School Closed Due to Pollution: Schools in Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, and Faridabad have moved all classes online due to the alarming air quality levels. The Delhi government extended the directive to include classes 10 and 12, after previously suspending physical classes for students up to class 9.

While Delhi and Faridabad have not provided a timeline for resuming in-person classes, Noida and Gurugram have announced a halt to physical classes until November 23.

Supreme Court Directs Strict Anti-Pollution Measures

The shift to online education follows a Supreme Court directive urging Delhi-NCR states to enforce Stage IV measures under the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP). The measures were introduced to address the hazardous pollution levels across the region.

Schools in Ghaziabad will conduct online classes starting Tuesday, November 19, to prepare for the Assembly bypolls scheduled for November 20.
