As air quality goes down primary schools to remain shut in Delhi from November 5.

Air pollution not just Delhi’s issue, but a problem of entire North India, says Chief Minister of Union Territory of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal. 

As Delhi continued to reel under “severe” level of air pollution, Chief Minister of, Arvind Kejriwal on Friday announced that there will be no classes for students in primary section starting Saturday. 

“Primary schools will be closed from tomorrow in Delhi. We are thinking about implementing odd-even, too. Outdoor activities of classes of fifth grade and above will be stopped,” Mr. Kejriwal said while addressing a joint press conference with Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. 

“Many cities (in North India) have severe air pollution. AAP alone or Kejriwal or governments of Delhi and Punjab alone is not responsible for this. Central government has to take steps to reduce pollution in North India,” he said. 

“There won’t be any solution by doing politics over it. We accept that stubble is burnt in Punjab. But farmers are not responsible for this. Farmers want solutions. We and our government is responsible for this,” he said. (With inputs from Agencies)
