With the onset of winter in Uttar Pradesh, fog and air pollution have increased difficulties for people. Dense fog in the morning affected visibility in 15 cities of the state. Its impact was also seen on road and air traffic. Five flights operated with delays, while one flight had to be cancelled. Passengers had to wait at the airport and travel plans were affected because of the weather.
The air pollution situation in Prayagraj remains worrying. The presence of pollutants in the air is causing people difficulty in breathing. According to experts, fog and slow wind speed can keep pollutants trapped in the atmosphere for a longer period. In such conditions, children, elderly people and those suffering from respiratory problems need to take special precautions.
Online study option in Noida schools
In view of the deteriorating air quality in Delhi-NCR, a hybrid learning arrangement has been implemented for students up to Class 5 in schools in Gautam Buddha Nagar, that is Noida and Greater Noida. Under this, parents can choose whether to send their children to school or have them attend online classes as per the available facility. This arrangement is not an order to close schools. A similar arrangement has also been implemented in Ghaziabad.
The simultaneous rise in fog and pollution is becoming a challenge for the administration as well. On one hand, low visibility is affecting traffic, while on the other, poor air quality is affecting people’s health. Amid the possibility of fog in the morning and haze during the day in the coming days, people are being advised to check flight status before travelling and avoid unnecessary outdoor activities during pollution.
