The hijab controversy that arose after restrictions were imposed by authorities of Government Pre-University College for Girls in Udupi resonated in Mysuru when a group of girl students held a demonstration in favour of hijab on February 4.
The students gathered in Bannimantap in Mysuru. They wore hijab and carried placards reading: ‘Hijab covers my hair, not the brain!’, ‘I love hijab’, ‘I choose to hijab’ and ‘Hijab – My pride, my choice, my freedom’.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
