Pb govt withdraws 'controversial' dress code for teachers

Facing flak for its order directing female teachers not to wear "jeans, tops and bright suits", the Punjab government on Tuesday withdrew the directive while suspending two employees of the education department in this regard.

The state education department had on Monday, in an order, imposed the dress code on government school teachers, especially females, asking them not to wear jeans, tops and bright suits as the outfits have a "bad" effect on students.
