00:00Alright, in lieu of the rising pollution in the NCR region, the latest measure that has been taken.
00:07I just want to take our viewers through the latest news break that is coming in.
00:10Hybrid classes will now be made mandatory for students up to Class 5 in Noida and Greater Noida due to
00:16rising pollution.
00:18Schools directed to offer both online and offline learning under Grad 3.
00:23Hybrid mode of instructions made mandatory for students up to Class 5 in Noida and Greater Noida.
00:29The order has been issued by the district's basic education officer following the implementation of Grad 3.
00:35The directive applies to all council-run government-aided and recognised schools in the district.
00:41School principals and managers have been instructed to ensure 100% compliance with the order.
00:46Warning issued. Action will be taken against any school that fails to comply or show negligence.
00:52The order was issued by district basic education officer Rahul Panwar.
00:57Alright, so viewers, this is once again a measure that has been taken, this by Noida and Greater Noida,
01:03in regard to the rising pollution levels in the Delhi NCR regions, which is not just attributed to Delhi alone,
01:10but to Noida and Greater Noida.
01:12Anmol Bali, my colleague who is joining me for more on this.
01:16Anmol, can you give us the details of this order, please?
01:26Anmol, can you hear me? Can you give us the details of this order?
01:29Preeti, as you know, the classes have been now shifted on the hybrid mode because we are seeing that pollution
01:35is escalating in the national capital,
01:36not only in the national capital, but are joining cities.
01:39Like Gurugram, Noida, Ghaziabad and Greater Noida are also seeing worsening AQI.
01:43We have seen that in last week, we have seen that CAQM has imposed Grab 3.
01:49And under the Grab 3, we see that classes till 5th class have been asked to shift to the hybrid
01:54mode.
01:54We have seen the same kind of pattern being followed by the Delhi government.
01:57And now, Noida and Greater Noida authorities have also asked schools to shift students till class 5 on the online
02:03or hybrid mode
02:04to keep students away from the worsening AQI situation in the national capital
02:09because various places we are seeing that are noting AQI and pollution levels above 300 and 400 miles.
02:16All right, Anmol, thank you for joining us for that quick update.
02:19So that would mean that till class 5, a hybrid model is now being introduced,
02:25at least till the time the pollution levels in the NCR region climb down.
02:30We're going to keep a keen eye on developments on that front.
02:33Thank you, Anmol, for joining us.
