Delhi schools to reopen for classes 6 and above from tomorrow

New Delhi: Schools in Delhi for the classes 6th to 12th will reopen from Saturday (December 18), informed an official notice released by the Delhi government.

The decision has been taken after the recommendation of the National Commission for Air Quality Management.

The Commission said it received a large number of representations, arguing the "compelling necessity" to open the schools and educational institutions.

Following the directions of the Supreme Court, the Commission examined the requests of various organisations regarding relaxations on the restrictions imposed, a statement said.

All the schools in the national capital were shut on December 3, after the Supreme Court questioned the Delhi government for reopening physical classes in schools despite an increase in the air pollution levels in the city.

Earlier this week, the pollution control body said that a decision on the reopening of schools will be taken on or before December 17. The order was issued by the Delhi government after the air quality in the national capital started improving.
