Chamarajnagar: Kollegal teacher asks salon owners not to give school children 'filmy style' haircut
Chamarajnagar: A government school teacher in Kollegal town has requested the president of the Savitha Samaja in the taluk to ensure that school children are not given haircuts similar to Kannada film star Sudeep in his new movie 'Hebbuli' at the hair salons owned by Savitha Samaja members.
In a formal letter to the president of the Savitha Samaja on Tuesday, M Shantharaju, who is the Kannada teacher at the Government High School, Kollegal, has put forth his request to ask members of the association to refuse the 'Hebbuli' film-style haircut if asked for by school children who visit their salons. "We have already told the children in classes not to get their hair cut in the style; we have requested their parents about the matter too. In spite of this, some of the children get such haircuts, apparently in mockery of teachers. I am, therefore, requesting you to tell the members of Savitha Samaja not to agree if school children ask for such a haircut," the teacher has written.
Shantharaju, who shared his concerns with the Vartha Bharati correspondent, said, "It is not just about the 'Hebbuli' style. School children get their hair cut in other odd styles too. Our appeals to parents to prevent this have proven futile, as they expressed helplessness in the matter. I wrote to the Savitha Samaja president, explaining the matter and asking for support. The president has responded positively and also called for a meeting of barbers and salon owners on Tuesday to inform them of our request."

New Delhi (PTI): The meeting between a Trinamool Congress delegation and the full bench of the Election Commission on Wednesday culminated on an acrimonious note, with the TMC saying the panel's chief asked them to "get lost" at the end of the seven-minute meeting, while the EC accused them of "shouting".
After the meeting, TMC's Rajya Sabha MP Derek O'Brien told mediapersons that they handed over letters from West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar, and also apprised him of specific instances of poll officials having links with the BJP.
"Then he said, 'Get lost'. We have done eight to nine meetings with the Election Commission. Apart from the CEC, none of the other election commissioners spoke," O'Brien said.
"While we were walking out, one of my colleagues congratulated Gyanesh Kumar for being the only CEC to have notices moved in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha for his removal," O'Brien MP said.
Meanwhile, sources in the Election Commission said the poll panel chief gave a "straight talk" to TMC leaders.
They accused O'Brien of shouting at the election commissioners and alleged that he asked the CEC not to speak.
The EC sources further said the elections in West Bengal would be "fear-free, violence-free, intimidation-free, and inducement-free."
