T-shirts, torn jeans also not allowed in Mumbai college after hijab ban

Days after banning the hijab, a college in Mumbai has issued a new dress code barring students from wearing torn jeans, t-shirts, and "revealing dresses" on its premises.

In a notice issued by the administration of the Chembur Trombay Education Society's NG Acharya and DK Marathe College, students were asked to wear a "formal and decent" dress while on campus.

"Students should wear formal and decent dress while on campus. They can wear half shirt or full shirt and trouser. Girls can wear and Indian and western outfit. Students shall not wear any dress which reveals religion or shows cultural disparity. Jeans, t-shirts, revealing dresses and jerseys are not allowed," a notice hanged on the college gate said.
