Schools across the Delhi-NCR region have announced a rescheduling of physical sports activities for November and December, citing deteriorating air quality as the primary reason.
The Delhi and National Capital Region schools have decided to postpone physical sports activities scheduled for November and December due to worsening air quality.
The decision follows rising levels of particulate matter (PM2.5) and PM10, with several districts reporting readings above permissible limits.
The rescheduling aims to protect students' health and prevent respiratory issues. Schools will replace outdoor sessions with indoor drills or academic activities.
The Delhi Education Department and the Central Pollution Control Board have urged schools to monitor AQI and adjust schedules accordingly.
