A notification is making rounds on social media which is being attributed to the director of the varsity.

‘Dear Bahrian, It is to inform all the girls that a strict dress code will be followed from Monday 14th January, 20119. Jeans, tights, trousers, short shirts are prohibited. Any girl seen in will be fined Rs. 5000,” the notification warned.
The notification says the decision to enforce a proper dress code was taken due to “several unethical observations” and with the consent of parents and faculty members.
“Certain rules need to be followed as they are otherwise you may face the consequences because it is from the higher authority.”
It is better to be “safe than sorry”, the notification notes, for all the students are “supposed to show a bit of compliance with the law or follow a proper channel against it”.
