Udupi: Three science students who previously approached High Court absent from examination
Udupi: The three science stream students among the Hijab-wearing students who had approached High Court reportedly did not attend the 2nd PUC Maths examination held on Saturday.
Reportedly, Udupi Government Girls Pre-University College students Almas A. H, Hazra Shifa, and Ayesha Pallavkar did not attend the examination. Among them, Almas had reportedly gone to the college on Friday evening and collected her hall ticket. However, the two other students did not go to collect the hall tickets even on Saturday morning, it is learned.
Although Almas collected her hall ticket, she found that she would not be allowed to write her exams wearing the Hijab, and due to this reason, she did not arrive at the Udupi Vidyodaya Pre-University college examination centre to write the exam. Therefore, the three students have been absent from the exam hall on Saturday.
Second PUC Commerce stream students Aliya Assadi and Resham had arrived at the examination centre on Friday evening to write their exams but were forced to return when they were not allowed to do so wearing the Hijab, it is learned.
In the background of this, the Udupi MLA Raghupati Bhat had issued a warning on Friday that if these students arrived at the examination centre on Saturday and did their ‘drama’, then a criminal case would be filed against them.
Aliya Assadi Tweets
Aliya Assadi took to Twitter on Friday in this regard and posted, “Today, I and Resham Farooq were denied from appearing for exams wearing hijab. Again and Again, we face disappointment! Raghupathi Bhat had threatened us with criminal cases against us if we go to attend exams tomorrow. What is the crime here? Where is our country headed to!”, she expressed.

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.
