RAIPUR: Town inspector Surendra Swarnkar, who was accorded a warm farewell with band-baja and dance by policemen of Dongargarh police station in Rajnandgaon, might have never expected to face swift disciplinary action as he was suspended on grounds of ‘inappropriate conduct’.

The police officer waved at the gathered people, with his colleagues in uniform dancing to the tune of Bhangra as they escorted the vehicle right from the police

The latest move is a result of several complaints from religious scholars and the public about the mixing of genders in such places, according to an official. The outdoor dining ban is only applicable to establishments in Herat, where such premises are open for men. The curbs are in place as women are not wearing the hijab (Islamic headscarf) properly, according to authorities. Not all restaurants were barred for families and women, said Baz Mohammad Nazir, a dep
