Delhi Air Pollution Crisis Parents Challenge School Closures in Supreme Court

by
Delhi Air Pollution

New Delhi, November 22, 2024: The Supreme Court of India is hearing a plea filed by a group of parents challenging the closure of schools in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) due to the severe air pollution crisis. The parents argue that while the air quality is indeed alarming, shutting down schools disproportionately affects underprivileged children who rely on schools for basic amenities like clean air and meals. The Supreme Court’s Intervention On November 18, 2024, the Supreme Court directed all NCR states to temporarily suspend physical classes for all school students up to grade 12. This decision came after a plea filed by senior advocate Gopal Sankaranarayanan, who highlighted the alarming air quality levels and the potential health risks to children. The court also ordered the implementation of Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) Stage IV, which mandates stricter measures to combat air pollution, including restrictions on construction activities, traffic, and industrial operations. Parents’ Concerns A group of eight parents has filed an application in the Supreme Court, arguing that school closures are not a sustainable solution to the air pollution problem. They contend that: The parents’ plea has raised important questions about the impact of air pollution on children’s health and education, as well as the effectiveness of school closures as a mitigation strategy. The Role of Schools in Providing Clean Air and Essential Services Schools play a crucial role in providing a safe and healthy learning environment for children. In many cases, schools are the only places where children can access clean air, nutritious meals, and other essential services. For underprivileged children, schools often provide a much cleaner and safer environment than their homes. The Impact of Air Pollution on Children’s Health Air pollution poses serious health risks to children, including respiratory infections, asthma, and long-term lung damage. Children are particularly vulnerable to the effects of air pollution because their lungs are still developing. Exposure to polluted air can impair cognitive development and academic performance.

These solutions include: Conclusion The Supreme Court’s decision to close schools in Delhi and NCR has sparked a debate about the impact of air pollution on children’s health and education. While the immediate health concerns are significant, it is essential to consider the long-term consequences of school closures on children’s education and well-being. It is imperative for the government and policymakers to take urgent action to address the air pollution crisis and implement comprehensive measures to improve air quality. This includes not only short-term measures like school closures but also long-term solutions that address the root causes of air pollution. It is hoped that the Supreme Court will consider the concerns raised by the parents and take a balanced approach that prioritizes the health and education of all children.

Delhi Suspends Physical Classes for Students Up to Class IX and XI Amid Worsening Air Quality

by
Delhi CM

New Delhi, November 18, 2024: In a move aimed at protecting the health of students amidst Delhi’s worsening air quality, the Delhi government has announced the suspension of physical classes for students up to class IX and XI. The decision comes into effect immediately and will remain in place until further notice. The Decision: The Directorate of Education (DoE) issued a circular on Sunday, November 17, 2024, directing all government, government-aided, and private schools in Delhi to discontinue physical classes for students up to class IX and XI. The circular emphasizes the need to prioritize the health and safety of students in the face of the severe air pollution that has engulfed the city. Impact on Students: The suspension of physical classes will primarily affect students in classes VI, VII, VIII, IX, and XI. These students will now transition to online learning until further notice. However, the government has clarified that physical classes for students in classes X and XII, who are preparing for their board exams, will continue as usual. Reason Behind the Decision: The decision to suspend physical classes was taken in response to the alarming deterioration of air quality in Delhi and the surrounding areas. The city has been grappling with severe smog and hazardous levels of pollutants for several days. The air quality index (AQI) has consistently remained in the “very poor” and “severe” categories, posing significant health risks to the population, especially children and the elderly. Health Concerns: Prolonged exposure to poor air quality can lead to a variety of respiratory and cardiovascular problems. Children, with their developing lungs, are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of air pollution. Studies have shown that exposure to polluted air can impair lung function, increase the risk of asthma, and exacerbate respiratory infections. Government’s Response: In addition to suspending physical classes, the Delhi government has implemented several measures to combat air pollution, including: Public Reaction: While the decision to suspend physical classes has been welcomed by parents and health experts, it has also raised concerns about the impact on students’ education. Many parents are worried about the quality of online learning and the potential for learning loss. However, most agree that prioritizing the health of students is essential, especially in the face of such severe air pollution. Also Read: UK Universities: Indian students numbers drop by 20% Conclusion: The suspension of physical classes in Delhi is a necessary step to protect the health of students during the ongoing air pollution crisis. While it may disrupt the regular academic calendar, it is a prudent decision that prioritizes the well-being of children. As the air quality situation continues to be monitored, the government may extend the suspension of physical classes or implement further measures to mitigate the impact of pollution.

Himanee Aarya Bhatia

Delhi: Himanee Bhatia, also known as Himanee Aarya Bhatia, is called ‘Delhi’s Doll’ for her soft beauty and kind interactions with her fans. She is known as one of the nicest-natured actresses. In a short span of two years in the industry, Himanee’s fanbase has largely increased. She is a popular name, is often compared to major Bollywood stars, and has entered the big league of actresses. On her views of her fans, Himanee says, “My fans are extremely important to me. Because of them, I am here. It is their unconditional love that has helped me get through the tough times.” Interview With Himanee Bhatia:  We asked Himanee which gestures truly touched her heart. She said, “If I start with how special my fans have made me feel, I won’t stop talking; however, I will share a few gestures that touched my heart. I remember a group of fans celebrating my birthday at their house with cakes and balloons. That really touched my heart. On Valentine’s Day, my fans unveiled a giant poster of mine on a cricket field and professed their love for me. Another time, my fans curated a video from all over the world and gifted me chocolates and teddies. They all wore t-shirts with quotes from my movie characters and my photographs. Recently, a fan got a permanent tattoo of my name on his arm, which left me spellbound. Another fan also shared a photograph of his room with my posters full of them. A fan from Japan has recently dedicated his jewelry line in my name as his muse.” Besides everything, my fans constantly share fan art and manage to give me tears of happiness each time. When I had just started in the industry, I was often let down. Being an outsider with no background in a film family, I often faced rejections and replacements. A little girl who was a fan saw me crying in the airport bathroom, and she said, “Himanee didi! You are my Disney princess, Merida. Don’t cry. I will cry if you do.” She was so adorable and gave me chocolate and a keychain of the Disney character Merida from the movie Brave. That was the day I decided, no matter what, I would never give up. I dedicate all my victories, awards, movie hits, and happiness to my fans and family. Without them, I am nothing.
