Girls go in rampage when asked to wear Burqa in Hostle

On Saturday afternoon, female students belonging to a minority community & residing in a girls hostel in Bhagalpur went on the rampage after the hostel superintendent directed them to wear a burqa inside the campus.

The students pelted stones on the gate of the hostel. They claimed that the superintendent is trying to implement Taliban Sharia law in the hostel.

Daraksha Anwar, a student said that “Every time we wear trousers, the superintendent abuses students. She also gives wrong information to our parents saying that we talk to boys".

Neda Fatima, a research scholar said that “It is not easy to wear a burqa in hot & humid conditions during summer season in Bihar, hence, we sometimes wear trousers & T-shirts inside the campus. Whenever she saw any student in trousers or talking to female students who are having scooty, she went berserk".

The circle officer of Nath Nagar, Smita Jha along with a police team reached the girl's hostel after the incident was reported & sorted out the matter.

The hostel superintendent denied the charges levelled against her by the students. The matter has also reached the district education officer.

Jha said that “We have taken the statements of the students & the superintendent. The investigation is currently underway. We will submit the probe report to the district education officer soon".
