NDTV
Karnataka Hijab Protest: The ban on protests within a 200-meter radius of any educational institution has been extended till March 8.
The Bengaluru police chief today further extended by two weeks the ban on protests and agitations for and against the "strict implementation of the schools/colleges uniform rules" in Bengaluru city. The ban on protests within a 200-meter radius of any school, college and other educational institutions in the city was first imposed on February 9 for two weeks following widespread protests that show no signs of abating. It has now been extended till March 8.
The ban order had said that at some places, the protests were disturbing "public peace and order" and hence it was considered "very essential" to initiate proper security measures.
"Since the issue is still alive and possibility of holding protests, for and against the same in Bengaluru city cannot be ruled out, it is considered appropriate to extend the aforementioned prohibitory order," the fresh order issued today said.
Two days ago, the Dakshina Kannada district administration in Karnataka also extended the prohibitory orders currently in place in the schools and colleges of the district till February 26.
