Mysuru college removes mandatory uniform dress code, allows students to attend classes with Hijab
A private college in Karnataka’s Mysuru has removed the mandatory uniform dress code amidst the Hijab row in the state, allowing Muslim students to attend classes wearing Hijab. The College has reportedly stated that they want to impart education and not create conflict.
The College has removed mandatory uniform dress code that the students were supposed to be wearing to the college. The decision has come at a time when the Hijab row has become a raging issue in the state.
A delegation of SDPI leaders along with parents of the students met the governing council of the college and held talks with the authorities in this regard. The College after discussing with the delegation has reportedly allowed students to attend classes without uniform starting Monday, February 21.
Speaking to Vartha Bharati, SDPI State President Abdul Majeed welcomed the decision of the college and added that the college’s decision should serve as a model to colleges across the state.
“Some anti-social elements are using religious issues like Hijab row to bring unrest in the society. In times like these, the decision of the college to remove uniform code is a welcome move,” he said.
“There was no compulsion of uniform in this private college, right from the time of Corona and the institution was not following strict uniform dress code in the campus, students were allowed to wear dresses of their choice. However, we have instructed all the colleges to follow and implement the order of Karnataka High Court in this regard” Mysuru DDPU DK Srinivas Murthy has said.

Meerut (UP) (PTI): A 72-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly keeping the body of his daughter inside their house for nearly four months after her death, officials said on Thursday.
A resident of Teli Mohalla in the Sadar Bazar police station area, Udaybhanu Biswas did not perform the last rites of his 35-year-old daughter Priyanka after her death and kept the body in a locked room of the house.
The matter came to light in April after local residents alerted police about a strong foul smell emanating from the house, they said, adding that he was formally arrested on Wednesday.
Preliminary investigation revealed that Priyanka had died due to illness on December 1, 2025. Biswas stayed in the house with the body for several days and allegedly used perfume to suppress the foul smell.
Police recovered the decomposed body from the house on April 10. The body had largely turned into a skeleton by the time it was found, sources said.
The body was sent for post-mortem examination after completion of legal formalities, they added.
According to police, Biswas is originally from West Bengal and is a retired administrative officer from the education department.
Police said he has undergone psychiatric evaluation at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Medical College and was formally arrested on Wednesday.
