The Hindu
Girls went back home after being told to take off their hijab at schools in K.R. Mill Colony in Mysuru taluk and Berya in K.R. Nagar taluk
Amidst the hijab-saffron shawl row, high schools in Mysuru city and the district reopened on Monday with the police personnel standing guard around the schools as a precautionary measure.
Officials from the Mysuru district administration, the Department of Public Instruction and the City and District Police coordinated among themselves for smooth and peaceful resumption of classes, which had been suspended following the row.
The Mysuru city police have imposed prohibitory orders within 200 metres of schools and colleges here from 6 a.m. of Monday to 10 p.m. of February 28 to stop people from gathering around the schools as a precautionary measure in the wake of controversy surrounding the dress code.
