A khap panchayat in Uttar Pradesh's Baghpat district has issued new social guidelines for minors, banning smartphone use and the wearing of half pants in public. Boys are advised to wear kurta-pyjamas and girls salwar-kurta. Leaders cited concerns over declining discipline, negative societal impact, and excessive screen time affecting studies. The panchayat also discouraged weddings in halls, advocating for village ceremonies to preserve family ties. These resolutions aim to promote traditional values and social discipline.
