A university in Pakistan has made it mandatory for female students to wear 'dupatta' and put a ban on wearing 'jeans' on its premises.
The management of National University of Sciences and Technology (Nust), however, has denied the report, saying that students have been instructed to wear 'decent' dresses.
A notice pasted on the notice board of the university read that 11 students have been fined because of different reasons, including smoking and eating in labs.
The notice added that seven students have been fined for not wearing dupatta or wearing jeans and tights.
A document signed by Nust's Deputy Director (Administration) Abdul Nasir showed that some female students have been fined Rs500 to Rs1,000 for wearing jeans and tights and for not wearing dupatta, Dawn News reports.
Personal Staff Officer of Rector Col Mohsin said that students were allowed to wear any kind of dress.
However, he added, students were not allowed to wear indecent dresses, adding that shorts were not allowed in university's premises.
