Usually, when authorities imply ‘dress code’ it tends to refer to what you must wear on the outside. Because your inner wear is quite literally ‘andar ki baat‘. However, this Pune school has issued a diktat that has put this very assumption under question.
MAEER’s MIT School in Pune, Maharashtra, has managed to baffle and irk students’ parents by issuing guidelines about the kind of innerwear the female students ought to wear.
According to the guidelines, the girls have been asked to wear either white or skin colour innerwear only. They have even mentioned the length of the skirt to be worn by them.
Outraged parents and students staged a protest on Wednesday outside the school.
Despite the outrage, the school authorities continue to assure that the guidelines were issued keeping the safety of the students in mind.

“I have directed the education department to conduct a detailed enquiry in this matter. if necessary, we will take action.”
