The EPCA asked the governments of Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan to issue advisories asking the public to minimise exposure to surroundings and other measures taken to try to curb the challenging levels of pollution.
"Schools are advised to work to minimise exposure of children by curtailing all outdoor activities and sports for this period," EPCA said. Delhi has announced closure of all schools till November 5. Other NCR cities may also follow suit.
EPCA said the air quality of Delhi-NCR has deteriorated further as of Thursday night and is now at the 'severe plus' category.
