Pune girl forced to keep âgod-givenâ dreadlocks for 3yrs
An incident of a 12-year-old Pune girl maintaining dreadlocks in her hair for three years has surfaced. Going by a popular belief, the girl's family thought the naturally formed dreadlocks were 'god-given' and prohibited her from cutting them, causing her health to deteriorate. After knowing about the girl's condition, an NGO reached out to her family and cut the locks.
