Burqa row: DC directs college to revoke ban again

Mangalore, 12 Oct 2012: The Dakshina Kannada District administration has again directed the Kukke Shri Subrahmanyeshwara (KSS) College of Sri Kukke Subrahmanya Temple administration not to implement ban on burqa on its campus.

 

This follows, after the temple administration, put up a notice on Thursday that they would ban on burqa on its campus since they had not got any written order from the district administration.

 

DC NS Channappa Gowda said: It has come to my notice. I have asked DDPI to send a written letter not to implement ban on burqa on its campus.

 

The college management’s decision to ban burqa inside the campus in the last week of September had raised objections from various quarters including Congress. Dakshina Kannada zilla panchayat former member Bharath Mundodi had warned the college authorities of protest if the decision was not withdrawn.
