Delhi's alarming air quality, with AQI levels exceeding 400, is leading to discussions about closing schools again, just days after reopening post-Diwali holidays. With pollution peaking in the region, children are being advised to wear masks, and outdoor activities have been halted. Schools may remain closed for at least a week, especially with the upcoming Chhath Puja holiday on November 7. Officials emphasize the dangers of breathing toxic air for both children and adults, prompting a move to establish a "pollution break," similar to measures taken last year when schools transitioned to online learning.
