Maharashtra School Under Scrutiny for Religious Symbol Ban
In Kalyan, Maharashtra, a school is facing controversy.
Some parents say the school is making kids remove religious symbols like 'tilak' and bangles.
Parents complained to the government, who then sent a notice to the school.
The school denies there's a ban, but the local government is trying to solve the issue.
The government is hoping both sides will work together to resolve the problem without further action.
Children were allegedly threatened with punishment for wearing religious symbols like 'tilak' and rakhi.
Parents complained to local representatives.
KDMC sent a notice to the school seeking clarification.
The school management denied issuing a ban.
The matter is expected to be resolved through dialogue.
