Emergency Measures Enacted Amidst Deteriorating Air Quality
In a decisive move to address public health concerns, the Emergency Dust Management Task Force of Khorasan Razavi Province has convened an urgent session. The meeting was called in response to ongoing air pollution and official forecasts from the Provincial Meteorological Department, which predict a significant increase and persistence of dust pollutants throughout the region.
Shift to Virtual Classrooms and Activity Restrictions
Following the task force’s resolution, all in-person educational activities across all grade levels have been officially suspended for the day. Instruction will be conducted remotely via digital platforms and virtual spaces to ensure the continuity of education while safeguarding student health.
Further reinforcing the health-first approach, the directive also includes a ban on all outdoor sports and physical activities within the city of Mashhad. This measure aims to minimize public exposure to the hazardous atmospheric conditions.
Directive Formally Issued and Mandatory for Compliance
As reported by the public relations office of the Khorasan Razavi Governorate, the resolutions passed by the emergency task force carry the weight of an official decree. The directive is binding and mandatory for all relevant government bodies, institutions, and organizations under the province’s jurisdiction.
In a complementary measure to support families, the directive also stipulates that mothers with children under the age of six employed in government offices will transition to remote work for the duration, highlighting a coordinated effort to address the situation’s broader social impact.
