In wake of the escalating tensions in Karnataka over wearing a hijab (headscarf) in educational institutions, the Bengaluru Police have banned protests and gatherings near schools and colleges in the city for two weeks. The order comes as violent protests were witnessed at several places over the issue. Notably, prohibitory orders were also imposed in southern Karnataka's Shivamogga town on Tuesday.
