TL;DR

Primary schools in Delhi will remain closed until November 10 due to high pollution levels, with the city's air quality index (AQI) reaching a hazardous level of 471. Grade 6-12 schools have the option to shift to online classes. Delhi currently tops the list of the world's most polluted cities, and the toxic air has even affected Sri Lanka's cricket team, forcing them to cancel their training session ahead of a World Cup match in the heavily-polluted Indian capital.
