The Supreme Court on Wednesday asked the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) to advise schools to move sports activities to months with safer air. The court said holding events in November and December, when pollution is at its worst, “amounts to putting schoolchildren in a gas chamber”. The direction came after the amicus told the bench that Delhi has planned inter-zonal sports competitions for under-14 and under-16 students during these months. The court said children should not be exposed to toxic air and asked authorities to act quickly to protect students’ health. (PC: India Today)
