UP Jewellers Ban Burqa, Mask Entry Citing Security Risks

Jewellery shops in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar have started barring customers who cover their faces with burqas, masks, or helmets.

This rule was made by a big group of jewellers to keep shops safe because there have been more thefts lately.

Shops have put up signs saying no one can enter if their face is covered.

Some jewellers say this is unfair and might lose customers, but others think it's necessary for safety.

The rule says Muslim women can wear burqas but must show their faces inside the shop.

Some people say this is not wrong because everyone has the right to feel safe.
