A students body in Mizoram on Tuesday urged the State government to impose a ban on use of cell phones in school and prohibit tattoos.

The Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP) said cell phones are not only a source of disturbance and indiscipline but also used for circulating porn images and videos.

In a statement, MZP said tattoos cause health hazards and mental problems.

Earlier, the student’s body had appealed to the government to issue a dress code in schools to put a ban on extremely short and revealing skirts for girls.

The MZP also asked the government to formulate uniform admission and tuition fees for government as well as private institutions.
