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.

Another North Goa nightclub sealed; Kejriwal says corruption led to fire tragedy
Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
