New Delhi has announced the closure of all primary schools due to alarming levels of air pollution. Chief Minister Atishi stated that classes will shift to remote learning as the city grapples with its annual smog crisis, exacerbated by vehicle emissions and seasonal agricultural burning. The Supreme Court recently recognized clean air as a fundamental human right, urging government action against pollution. This air quality deterioration affects over 30 million residents and is linked to thousands of premature deaths each year.
