Karnataka Withholds Award For Kundapur College Principal After Outrage Over His ‘Role’ In Hijab Row

A day before Teacher's Day, the Karnataka government on Wednesday, September 4, put a hold on the "Best Principal Award" announced for BG Ramakrishna, the principal of Kundapur Government Pre-University College. The decision was taken after a section pointed out that Ramakrishna had allegedly asked Muslim girl students wearing hijab to stand in the Sun outside the classroom for months in 2021.
