International Desk: All educational institutions including schools and colleges in Delhi and adjoining cities have been ordered to be closed.

As the air pollution situation in Delhi has deteriorated, government workers have been instructed to leave their offices. In addition, 50% of employees in private companies have been asked to work from home.

The Central Pollution Control Board of India has stated that the decision would remain in force until further notice. This has been said in a report of NDTV.

Discussions have been going on for several days at the government level on what to do to avoid health risks due to pollution in Delhi. The level of pollution has risen so much that schools and colleges in Delhi and surrounding cities have had to be declared closed.

In the last few years, air pollution has become a major threat. The main reasons for this are crop residues, fireworks, factories and the rapidly increasing number of vehicles.

Air pollution in Delhi has become so severe that it has become difficult to breathe. However, the pollution was not just due to the burning of firecrackers in Delhi on the occasion of Diwali or the burning of crop residues in Punjab and Haryana. There are many more reasons behind this.
