College in India's Haryana state to fine students Rs100 for breaking the dress code

An Indian college announced on Monday it had banned girls from wearing jeans, short dresses and T-shirts to crack down on sexual harassment, sparking outrage from pupils and rights campaigners. The Adarsh Women’s College in Haryana state, west of New Delhi, said that students would be fined 100 rupees ($1.8) each time they broke the dress code. “We have imposed a ban on jeans and T-shirts because these are completely Westernised and (so) are short dresses,” school head Alaka Sharma told the NDTV news channel. “The small dresses don’t cover students and that is the reason why they have to face eve-teasing.”
