The air quality in Noida remained ‘severe’ on Tuesday as commuters were forced to inhale toxic air and residents stayed indoors. “As the air quality is dangerous in Noida, schools must be shut until the situation improves. Some private schools in Noida have stopped outdoor activities. “The decision to shut schools is taken when the air quality index reaches the severe plus category. Therefore, the severe air quality is due to the failure of governments to implement the guidelines issued by Supreme Court, National Green Tribunal and other bodies.”
