The Karnataka government has barred students from taking selfies and shooting reels during educational tours organised by government first-grade colleges, citing safety concerns. The Department of Collegiate Education has also capped the total duration of such tours, including travel, at five days.
The guidelines were issued on September 11 and require principals to brief students about the restrictions before the tour begins. Faculty members accompanying students have been instructed to maintain close supervision throughout the trip, according to a TOI report.
