June 23rd, 2009 - 8:48 pm ICT by ANILucknow, June 23(ANI): The Uttar Pradesh government on Tuesday issued a stern notice to all colleges in the state not to impose any ban on jeans for girl students or face punitive actions.

He said the provisions of University Act could be raised to take steps against colleges who impose any kind of dress code on students.
