New Delhi: A decision on the reopening of schools and lifting of the construction ban in Delhi will be taken on or before Friday.
This will be based on the impact of relaxations that are already being made for industrial units, the central air quality commission told the Supreme Court on Wednesday ahead of a hearing today.
The court had last week noted that the air quality in the national capital had started improving, and had directed the pollution panel to take a decision on relaxing restrictions imposed by the court on sources of pollution – including industries, constructions, and factories – in the national capital.
The court had left it to the centre’s Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) to consider requests made by industry owners and other affected parties for a personal hearing and take their inputs.
