Dancing at school events has been banned by Punjab government calling it immoral and against religious norms. Hence, schools forcing or encouraging students to participate in dances or any other ‘immoral activities’ will have to face strict action.

According to the notification, strict action will be taken against those who will not abide by the rule including school teachers and heads. The ban will be exercised across all government and private schools in Punjab province.
