Students of JJ Group of Hospitals were in for a surprise on Saturday after the institution had put up a notice asking its students to wear decent dresses for upcoming cultural events in the college premises. The notice was issued after an incident came to light in which students had torn each other's clothes during the Holi festivities inside the college premises.

According to the dean of the hospital, the notice does not mean discriminate students on the basis of their gender but to protect the professional culture of doctors.

The notice read that the dress code has to be followed by the students and no shorts or short dress will be allowed. It also stated that no vulgarity inside the campus is permitted, and cases of harassment on girls will not be tolerated. It further stated that girls should come back to the hostel by 10 pm.

Speaking about it, Dr Ajay Chandanwale, dean of the Sir JJ Groups of Hospital, said, "We are not against celebrating festivals of different cultures nor do we have any problem if they dance together. The point that they should not dance together was not added by the authority. Girls have the freedom to live their lives as they wish. During the celebration, the students were seen tearing each other's clothes which is considered as misbehavior. Students are not allowed to pull and/or tear each other's clothes in the hospital in front of senior staff members and professors, patients and their relatives. Discipline and decorum have to be maintained. Thus, we had to issue the notice."

Students of the institution preferred to stay mum about the incident and refused to comment.
