The First Grade Degree College in Uppinangady, Dakshina Kannada, which was at the center of the hijab row protests a few days ago, has revoked the suspension of six students punished for wearing the hijab after they submitted an undertaking that they will follow the dress code.
A total of 46 students including 29 students who had remained absent and 11 students who had maintained a distance from pro-hijab protests in the college last week attended classes by adhering to the college dress code.
However, 24 students who were suspended on Tuesday were not present. There are 101 Muslim girl students pursuing their studies in the college. College faculty hope that attendance of students improves further from Thursday.
