NDTV
Vineeta Singh: The businesswoman underscored that the new rule at her son's school will only end up curtailing women's freedom and agency.
Entrepreneur Vineeta Singh has slammed the new regulation at her son's school which bans girls from sitting in the first few rows of the school bus in order to "minimise contact" with drivers. The 41-year-old businesswoman described the move as "convenient", by placing more restrictions on young girls.
She further compared the offending new rule to Bengal government's "night duty may be avoided for women to extent possible" in the wake of a 31-year-old trainee doctor raped and murdered during a rest break at a Kolkata hospital on August 9.
"This week a new regulation was implemented at my son's school where girls have been banned from sitting in the first few rows of the school bus in order to "minimise contact" with the school bus drivers... Reminds me of the new West Bengal guidelines for doctors: "night duty may be avoided for women to the extent possible"," said Ms Singh, co-founder and CEO of Sugar cosmetics, in an Instagram post.
