Village bans girls from using mobiles as it helps them elope
A panchayat in Haryana's Ishapur Kheri village has barred girls from using mobile phones, claiming that they use the devices to get in touch with boys and elope. It also prohibited girls from wearing "modern clothes like jeans". Justifying his decisions, sarpanch Prem Singh said three girls who used to wear jeans and use phones eloped two years ago.
