Delhi Schools And Colleges To Reopen On Monday

New Delhi: Delhi schools and colleges – closed 10 days ago amid the air quality crisis in the city – reopen on Monday. The Arvind Kejriwal government’s announcement comes hours after the Supreme Court yet again delivered sharp remarks on the city’s pollution. However, the court also said, “If the situation improves, lift some bans.”

“Air quality in Delhi is improving now. Schools, colleges, and educational institutes will reopen from Monday,” Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai told reporters this afternoon.

While the air quality in the national capital has marginally improved, it’s still in the “very poor” category. Toxic air continues to blanket the neighboring cities too.

All Delhi government offices will also reopen from Monday, Mr Rai said, urging the staff to use public transport. Special buses will be arranged for them, he added.

“We advise them to use public transport to commute. Special bus services will be started from colonies where the maximum number of Delhi government employees live,” the Minister told reporters.
