Friday, the Government of Delhi will start distributing masks among school students following a spike in the pollution level. In both government and private schools in Delhi, Fifty lakh N95 masks would be distributed among students, said Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
A kit of two pieces of N95, one of the good quality masks for tackling smog, will be given to students and will be distributed for a week.
Kejriwal said the main reason behind the spike in pollution was stubble burning in Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. He urged the governments of the neighbouring states to take steps to prevent stubble burning.
