MA SHA ALLAH ------------------ No jeans, T-shirts and internet for AMU college girls!! The Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) has ordered a dress code for female students of Abdullah College - no T-shirts and jeans, only salwar-kameez and dupatta. The provost of Abdullah Hall (hostel) has issued a notice warning that "if any girl is caught violating the dress code, she will be fined Rs. 500". The varsity administration has not stopped at that. The female students are not allowed in the Central Library of AMU, also called Maulana Azad Library, whereas male students have been given permission. In addition, the girls cannot use internet in their hostel. Interestingly, the notice also asks the girls to keep "only one mobile phone and take meals in the dining hall only". Dr Ghazala Parveen, provost of the hall, told Hindustan Times, "Yes, I have issued this notice. This has been done on the direction of the vice chancellor." Some time back, AMU vice-chancellor (V-C) Gen Zameeruddin Shah had issued an appeal asking the girls to wear "decent clothes" and now a proper notice has been issued with a warning of fine for violation.
