    "Make no utterances that disturb the tranquility," the Chief Minister stated on Karnataka hijab controversy.

    Schools and colleges across Karnataka have been shut for three days until February 10 due to demonstrations in different state regions over girls not being allowed to enter classes wearing hijab and a section of students insisting on wearing saffron scarves to class. 

    The administration has shut schools and colleges to avoid the situation from deteriorating regarding Karnataka hijab controversy.

    According to the Chief Minister, the government will explore efforts to ensure peace, discipline, and unity in schools and establishments. He argued with the public to be sensitive to issues involving children.
