Schools in Delhi to be closed from Jan 1 to Jan 15 to control pollution

Delhi government has decided to keep schools in Delhi closed for 15 days with effect from Jan 1 during which time the odd-even system would be tried out to reduce pollution in the capital. As per information, all schools in the national capital will be closed from January 1 to January 15 next year in order to avoid any problems to the students in view of the implementation of odd-even system for cars and other vehicle during this period of time.
This has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 12 December 2015.

As Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has said children are most affected due to rising pollution and government will make a policy of odd-even formula with their involvement.
There is a winter holiday in all government and private schools from December last week to the first week of January every year and, in case the Education Department declares holidays for 15 days between January 1 and 15, the studies of students will not be affected.
He also added that since children are the largest stakeholder with 26 lakh of them studying in schools, it is necessary that the policy of odd-even formula be made with their involvement. While everyone is affected by te rising pollution, children are the most affected and that is a matter of concern.
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has held a high-level meeting with all his cabinet ministers, concerned departments and agencies in order to prepare a strategy for implementing the odd-even scheme.
