After girls in a Uttar Pradesh village were banned from using mobile phones about a month ago, a village panchayat in Rajasthan has prohibited minor girls from carrying mobiles and directed them to cover their heads when going out of home. The village council has also ordered minor boys not to play music on their mobile phones. The restrictions have been imposed in Kishorpura village near Udaipurwati town of Jhunjhunu district, some 200 km from here. The village head did not specify the punishment to be meted out to any girl found flouting the panchayat's edicts. Most of the villagers were, however, in agreement with the panchayat order.
