Police to help colleges to maintain peace
While high schools reopened on Monday, PU and degree colleges in the State, which had been closed due to unrest over dress code, will reopen from Wednesday.
A decision to this effect was taken at a high-level meeting convened by Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai in Bengaluru on Monday evening to review the situation on implementation of the Karnataka High Court’s interim order that has barred wearing of hijabs as well as saffron shawls in schools and colleges till it delivers the final verdict on the issue.
Briefing media persons after the meeting, Primary and Secondary Education Minister B.C. Nagesh said that PU and degree colleges would reopen from Wednesday.

Former CM B.S.
