Delhi School Holidays: Despite a drop in temperatures today, pollution levels have increased further, with residents increasingly complaining of colds, coughs, and headaches.
Residents in Delhi-NCR are grappling with severe air pollution as AQI levels in Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, Faridabad, and other regions consistently remain in the very poor category. In response to this critical pollution issue, the Delhi government ordered the closure of schools and shifted to online classes last week. Starting tomorrow (November 17), many Delhi schools will offer hybrid classes for children up to grade 5. (Representative image/PTI)
All schools in Delhi are conducting online classes up to grade 5. Since today is Sunday and schools are closed, many parents are confused about the status for tomorrow. They are unsure whether Delhi schools will be open or closed on Monday, November 17, 2025. It is to be noted that most schools have sent details to parents through circulars or messages. Parents are advised to check with their child’s school for the latest status. (Representative image/PTI)

Private offices have been advised to adopt work-from-home or hybrid work models to alleviate traffic congestion and reduce emissions. The restrictions also include a ban on inter-state diesel buses from entering or operating in Delhi and a prohibition on diesel generator sets, except for emergency and essential services.
