TMC का जलवा यह है कि लाखों अर्धसैनिक बल की उपस्थिति के बाद भी डायमंड हार्बर क्षेत्र के एक बूथ पर भाजपा के नाम पर टेप साटा हुआ है। कितनी गजब की स्थिति है। प्रत्याशी जहाँ जा रहा है, वहाँ तो देख लेगा, पर बाकी जगह? वीडियो: सुधानिधि बंधोपाध्याय
A college in Karnataka taped the traditional nose ring worn by girls students before an entrance exam College - MES College in Chikkamagaluru Exam - CET held on Thursday The management covered the nose rings with adhesive tape before entering exam hall. Many bled after trying to remove it later Similar incidents keep repeating across Indian schools and colleges - even Janeu thread was removed from students recently. At the same time, more and more institutions are allowing hijab just to avoid mob pressure @KanoongoPriyank, please take note The institute must be asked to provide, in writing: - What exact rule allowed this and why? - Why was adhesive tape used on students’ bodies? - Who authorised it? If the college cannot give a satisfactory written explanation, strict action must follow
I have listened to your concerns and I understand your sentiment around this. I want to add more context to my earlier post. The document currently circulating is an outdated internal training document. It is not an HR policy. That said, it contained an incorrect line about bindi/tilak that should never have been written and does not reflect our values or actual practice. When we discovered this on February 17, well before this became a public conversation, we immediately removed it. But I should have caught this earlier. As Founder and CEO, the responsibility for such lapses is mine. I have asked my team to bring all such materials under stricter review, and I will personally ensure this is addressed going forward. We are also looking into how this found its way into our training content. Let me be absolutely clear. Lenskart does not and will never restrict any form of respectful religious expression. This includes bindi, tilak, or any such symbols of faith. Our team members have always been, and will always be, free to express their beliefs with pride. I also want to thank everyone who raised this. Your voice helps us improve and stay true to what we stand for.
