While the row over wearing hijab (head-scarf) at a government pre-university college in Udupi, 56 km from Mangaluru, continues with a student moving court on the issue, another similar controversy erupted at a college 40.8 km away at Kundapur.

Apparently, a few girl students attended the college wearing the hijab at Kundapur.

This prompted 100 boys to wear saffron shawls.

This happened on Wednesday.

Realising the gravity of the situation, Kundapur MLA Halady Srinivas Shetty held a meeting with the college authorities and the students.

The meeting failed to arrive at a consensus as the parents insisted that their children have the right to wear hijab.

The authorities made it clear that students should stick to a uniform rule. -- PTI
