New Delhi: A video of few girl students protesting in hijab in a college in Uttar Pradesh’s Ghaziabad city has gone viral on social media.
The video is said to be of Ginni Devi College in Ghaziabad’s Modi Nagar.
IANS reported sources as saying that tablets were being distributed on the college premises.
The girl students have alleged that they were not allowed to take the tablet in hijab.
The girl students post this incident came out of the college premises and created a ruckus on the road by protesting and shouting.
The incident took place yesterday, said the Ghaziabad Police and added that the students were pacified and sent back home.
The college administration while clarifying its stand on the matter said what the students were doing outside the college is none of their business.
“We were distributing tablets on the college premises. About 69 tablets were to be distributed. A few students didn't wear uniform. They were asked to follow the dress code which irked them,” said the college administration.

“We want them to wear uniform inside the college, what they are doing outside the premises, is not our concern,” the college administration added.
The hijab row started in Karnataka earlier in January 2022 after an education institution stopped the students wearing hijab from entering the campus.
