Wear full covered decent dresses

New Delhi April 18: In a move that is bound to trigger a fresh row over attempts by institutions to delve into moral policing, a women's hostel at the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, has issued a notice directing women to wear "full covered decent western or Indian dresses" on House Day.

Scheduled on April 20, the House Day is an annual event at the institute where residents can invite girls in the hostel for an hour.



Himadri and Kailash are the two women's hostels at IIT Delhi. On April 16, the warden of the Himadri hotel signed and put up the notice. It was later shared by Pinjra Tod – a students union fighting against discriminatory rules for women in hostels, universities, and hostels.
