Thirty-six students of PGIMER’s National Institute of Nursing Education (NINE) here were barred from leaving their hostel for a week from May 3 for not attending a programme where the 100th episode of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Mann Ki Baat’ was broadcast, according to an order issued by principal Dr Sukhpal Kaur.
The hospital authorities had made it compulsory for the first and third-year students to listen to the broadcast on April 30 at the institute, and warned that their outings would be cancelled. However, 28 female students from the third year and eight from the first year didn’t turn up.
