New Delhi, Feb 7 : Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai Today  said students should follow the dress code in schools and colleges as it is mentioned in the Indian Constitution and clearly spelt out in Karnataka Education Act and Schools Development and Management Committee. “The Constitution has a mention about dress code in schools and colleges. They should follow the circular of the state government in this regard. This has been spelt out clearly in the Karnataka Education Act and Schools Development and Management Committee,” he told reporters here. “The state government too has issued a circular. It should be followed by everyone. As the examination is approaching students should focus on education,” he added. Until the Karnataka High Court gives its verdict on the issue, peace should be maintained, Bommai said. Similar cases have come up in other states too and the courts have delivered their verdict, Bommai said. On river interlinking matters, he said Karnataka should get its rightful share of waters in the inter-linking of rivers. “Our share should be decided on water accruing in our river basin, our need and equitable share. This is our stand. All the states should be taken into confidence before finalising the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the project. All measures would be taken to get Karnataka’s rightful share of water. As it involves Krishna and Cauvery, the lifelines of our state, we have made our stand clear. There is no compromise on this,” he said. “I am holding a meeting with our state MPs in New Delhi. Various projects related to state and union governments will come up for discussion. We will also discuss estimates for the state budget as there is a connection between the Union Budget, which was recently presented, and the state budget,” Bommai said.(UNI)
