Thakor community bans mobile phone for unmarried girls in Gujarat

Palanpur/Gandhinagar, Jul 16 (UNI) In a Khap panchayat-like diktat, the dominant Thakor community has banned the mobile phone use by unmarried girls in 12 villages of Dantiwada taluka in Banaskantha district of North Gujarat.
To everyone's surprise, Congress MLA Ganiben Thakor on Tuesday lent support to the decision.
"Such rules were necessary for better availing of benefits of Rs 1,900 crore education budget for the poor students. In this era of technology, there was nothing wrong in keeping the unmarried girls away from the mobile phone. I expect that the government too would support it," Ms Thakor said.
