Spare us of the injustice: Student activist Almas urges Karnataka Education Minister on Hijab row
Karnataka govt had barred students from wearing Hijab during PU examination
Udupi: Reacting to the Karnataka government's move to not allow student to wear any religious attire including the Hijab during the PUC examination, one of the student activists who had filed petition in Karnataka HC against Hijab ban said all the preparations of the students will go in vain if the government goes ahead with the move.
In a tweet from her handle, Almas tagged Karnataka Education Minister BC Nagesh and urged him to spare the students of the injustice.
"Hijab not allowed during II PUC exams, says @BCNagesh_bjp . Being Edu Minister, is it just for you to deny education for piece of cloth? I had been preparing for my exams since long, all that would go in vain. Don't do this injustice to us sir. Allow us!" She wrote in the tweet.
“In places where uniform is prescribed, the students must mandatorily wear the uniform, and where uniform is not mandated, no student will be allowed to don any religious attire. The teachers coming to the examination centre do not have any uniforms mandated”, Nagesh had earlier said while clarifying students will not be allowed to wear Hijab during the board examination.
“The examination will be conducted from April 22 to May 18 in a simple manner similar to how the SSLC examination was conducted. A total of 6, 84, 255 students have registered for the exams. There are 3, 46, 936 young boys and 3, 37, 319 young girls among them”, he had informed.

Elephant calf brought from Bijnor kept under care at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve
Pilibhit (PTI): A 19-day-old elephant calf, brought from Bijnor, was placed under care at the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve (PTR) on Sunday, an official said and added that the calf got separated from its mother in the forest area of Bijnor.
The calf was born on December 2 in the Bijnor forest area and got separated from its mother shortly after birth, the official said.
The forest department made several attempts to reunite it with its mother, but without any success. To ensure the calf's safety and better care, it was decided to transfer it to the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve on the instructions of senior officials.
On Saturday, Deputy Director Manish Singh received the calf. Special arrangements have been made in the reserve for its care. It has been kept in a safe and clean environment to provide it with a natural setting and protect it from external noise and disturbances.
Singh told reporters that raising an 19-day-old calf is challenging.
It requires a special diet as a substitute for mother's milk and constant monitoring.
He said a special team has been formed to provide 24-hour care. Since the calf is very young, it is being cared for like a newborn baby.
According to Singh, the primary responsibility for monitoring the calf's health has been entrusted to PTR's veterinarian, Dr Daksh Gangwar. Under his supervision, a complete record of the calf's health checkups, diet, and body temperature is being maintained. The team is ensuring that the calf does not contract any infection.
