    What's the story

    The Haryana government has announced the temporary closure of all schools up to Class 5 amid rising air pollution levels.

    The decision was conveyed through an official letter from the Directorate of School Education to all District Deputy Commissioners.

    Notably, Jind in Haryana recorded its air quality index (AQI) in the "severe" category, while other parts of the state and neighboring Punjab recorded "poor" to "very poor" air quality on Saturday.

    In Delhi, the air quality has stayed in the "severe" category for the past three days.

    The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) has enforced Stage 3 of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) amid the crisis.

    Under the GRAP Stage III restrictions, non-essential construction and demolition activities are banned.

    Stone crushers and mining activities have been halted and inter-state busses from NCR states are prohibited unless they are electric, CNG or BS-VI diesel busses.
