The Delhi government announced it will install 10,000 air purifiers in government school classrooms to protect children from severe air pollution, starting with the first phase of implementation. Education Minister Ashish Sood said tenders have been issued and that the initiative aims to improve indoor air quality amid persistent high AQI levels in the capital. The plan is part of a broader pollution control effort, including clearing the Bhalswa landfill by 2026, reflecting long-term administrative measures rather than short-term fixes. Officials emphasized student health and clean breathing environments as priorities. (PC: India Today)
