A UP panchayat on Saturday issued a diktat saying students should refrain from using mobile phones, ANI reported.
Santosh Verma, member of the Jat Mahasabha told ANI that the diktat was not against the use of mobile phones entirely.
“Not against mobiles but its misuse,” he said. “Students must use them only in presence of parents.”
Earlier in 2016, a panchayat in a village in Gujarat banned women from using mobile phones, claiming that the gadget distracts them from studies.
In 2015, a Muslim village council in UP banned women from wearing jeans and t-shirt and using mobile phones as it was not decent according to rules of Islam. The ban had been implemented in more than 10 villages of Muzaffarnagar and Saharanpur districts.
In 2011, a khap panchayat in Muzaffarnagar banned women from wearing jeans as they said it led to incidents of eve-teasing and eloping.
