Holi: DU female students protest against ‘curbs’ on movement

[ad_1]
Women students at Delhi University’s Rajiv Gandhi Hostel for Girls (RGHG) raised slogans and protested on Wednesday against university hostel curfews that prohibit students from leaving the premises until 6 PM, due to Holi.
The section officer issued a notice on March 2 informing hostel residents that visitors would not be permitted on Holi and that they could only leave after 6 PM.
“Residents can only go out after 6 PM on 8th March. No guests/visitors will be allowed on the day of the Holi festival,” the notice stated.
Students expressed outrage at the movement restrictions, claiming that they were uncalled for and arbitrary. Women students reported being confined to dorms on International Women’s Day, which this year coincided with the Holi celebration.
Hooliganism by lumpens, but women punished in DU!
DU proctor imposes arbitrary curfew on UGHG Hostel on Holi!

Students at the RGHG complex yelled chants in opposition to the transfer on Wednesday afternoon, alleging that the hostel’s gates were sealed to prevent students from leaving.

News about curbs at Kedarnath misleading: Temple committee chief

[ad_1]
Kedarnath: Amid the news of a prescribed dress code, ban on Dakshina and mobile phones being spread amongst the devotees, the president of the Badri Kedar Temple Committee (BKTC) Ajendra Ajay has clarified and termed the news as misleading.
To make the arrangements for the Char Dham Yatra more accessible and convenient for the devotees, the BKTC had sent a team to study four major temples of the country. On the basis of that report, efforts are being made to improve the arrangements at Badrinath and Kedarnath, Ajay said.
He said that rumours are being spread about banning Dakshina in the Yatra which are entirely baseless.
The report submitted by the team is being discussed and the temple committee will not interfere in any way with Dakshina as it is the right of the Tirtha Purohit and the Pandits.
Ajay added that the staff in the temples are salaried employees who will not take any money from the devotees, instead donation boxes will be installed in the temples.
He assured that the devotees will not be pressured for the donations and it is solely a matter of faith.
On the matter of implementation of a certain dress code, Ajay said that the prescribed dress code will only be implemented for the salaried employees of the Committee after due discussion, for easier identification and access to help and information by the authorised people.
Regarding banning YouTube and mobile phones during the Yatra, Ajay said that no decision had been taken about this and it is still being discussed.

He added that an SOP would soon be issued regarding Darshan during the Char Dham Yatra.

UK mulls immigration curbs on foreign student families

[ad_1]
London: International students are likely to be restricted from bringing their spouses and children to the UK unless they study “high-value” degrees under government plans.
According to The Times, foreign students granted visas to study science, mathematics, and engineering can relocate to the UK with dependants.
A near-eightfold rise in the number of family members joining foreign students has left Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Home Secretary Suella Braverman worried.
According to new immigration figures, 490,763 students were given visas last year.
They were accompanied by 135,788 dependants — spouses and children — up from 16,047 in 2019.
Of these, India became the largest source of students with 161,000 students, including 33,240 dependents, coming to the UK last year.
Asylum backlog hit a record high, with more than 160,000 migrants waiting for decisions on their applications, the report said.
The government is yet to make a final decision on the contentious matter.

Braverman has drawn up proposals to reduce the number, which includes shortening the duration foreign students can stay in Britain post their course.
However, according to the Department of Education, the restrictions will bankrupt UK universities, which depend on foreign students for money.
According to estimates, international students add 35 billion pounds a year to the economy.
According to UK-based New Way Consultancy, foreign students and their dependents contributed to the UK economy not just through fees of 10,000 pounds to 26,000 pounds but also via an NHS surcharge of 400 pounds a year for the student and 600 pounds for a dependent.
It warned that curbs on graduate work visas will force Indian students to shift to countries like Australia and Canada, ultimately leading to the end of the student market in the UK.
More than 45,000 people crossed the Channel to the UK in small boats over the past year, according to government figures, with 90 crossing on Christmas Day alone.
