Low visibility caused by heavy smog following Diwali significantly disrupted flight operations at Shri Guru Ram Das Jee International Airport, leading to the diversion of three flights—one international and two domestic—to Chandigarh due to poor visibility this morning. On Saturday morning, the Air Quality Index (AQI) in Amritsar reached 325, categorizing it as ‘very poor.’.
From Monday, schools will start at 9 am and will remain open till 3 pm. This order will be applicable in government, private, aided and recognized schools of Punjab.
