Mizoram wants decent school dress code
Trendy Mizoram has had enough of teen skin show. And for a change, the call for a decent dress code in educational institutions isn’t meant for girls only.
Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP), the northeastern State’s potent students’ body, has formally asked the government to fix a design code for schools and colleges across Mizoram. The idea is to discourage girls from wearing leg-baring mini skirts and boys from donning underwear-exposing low-waist pants.
“Skin-showing dresses made fashionable by rappers and rock stars find their way to Mizoram almost instantly. Even school children catch on to atrocious styles, going to the extent of tweaking their uniforms,” MZP president VL Krosshnehzova told Hindustan Times from State capital Aizawl.
