The Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh governments on Monday suspended physical classes for standards 10 and 12 in the national capital and neighbouring Gurugram, Noida and Ghaziabad, hours after the Supreme Court directed all states in the National Capital Region (NCR) to take an immediate call to shift to online lessons in view of the deteriorating air quality in the area.
The top court's direction came while hearing a batch of pleas relating to the worsening air quality, as a petitioner questioned the Delhi government's decision to discontinue physical classes for all students, barring standards 10 and 12, from Monday.
