Previously, state governments had discretion over school closures; however, the new directive enforces mandatory measures due to the Air Quality Index (AQI) remaining in the severe category, peaking at over 450 earlier this week. The Supreme Court criticized the CAQM for delays and emphasized the urgent need for stricter actions. Additionally, under Stage 3, public office timings must be staggered in the affected areas, while other NCR districts retain flexibility in deciding office hours. The 24-hour average AQI on Wednesday was recorded at 419, still categorized as severe, indicating ongoing air quality concerns in the region.
