Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday informed the legislators that the schools have been told to strictly implement the ban on mobile phones on school premises. The government has taken the decision after legislators expressed concerns over a series of sexual offences committed by school students.
Fadnavis, who is also the in-charge of the state’s home department, was responding to the calling attention motion moved by BJP legislator Uma Khapre and others, in the Upper House. He said the government is also working to rein in the ecosystem of paan shops, cafeterias and the presence of anti-social elements in the proximity of schools.
