GRAP 4 has been implemented in Delhi-NCR, and under this, the education department and local administration are considering online classes instead of opening schools.

Several schools in Noida and Gurugram have announced that classes will be conducted in online mode tomorrow.

However, the official announcement depends on the final order of the District Magistrate (DM) of the respective districts. Parents are confused about whether they should prepare their children for school on Monday morning or not.

Noida and Ghaziabad School Holiday Updates:

The pollution levels in Noida and Ghaziabad are as severe as in Delhi. The district authority had already issued guidelines regarding winter vacations and the increasing smog.
