Bangalore, 12 Jul 2014: A house panel of the Karnataka legislative assembly has recommended that the state government ban mobile phones in schools and colleges.

 

“Rape and other crimes are linked to mobile phones. There were several instances where mobile phones were used to lure girls to remote places and rape them. Mobile phones are debasing the educational atmosphere in schools and colleges,’ said a report tabled by the women and child welfare committee in the legislative assembly in Bangalore on Friday.

 

 

The report went on to recommend a ban on mobiles.

 

“We suggest that youth shouldn’t be allowed to use mobile phones till they become majors, and attain maturity. Once they realize what is right or wrong, they’ll be safe,” said Shakuntala Shetty, Committee chairperson and MLA of Puttur.

 

Shetty cited an incident where a gang of three youths called a college girl and lured her to a building under construction, from where she later jumped to death to escape a rape bid.
