<h5>Guidelines incoming!</h5><p>The Karnataka government plans to issue dress code guidelines for malls and other public places, like parks, clubs, etc. announced Deputy Chief Minister (CM) DK Shivakumar recently.</p><p>The decision was made following an incident in which a dhoti-clad farmer was denied entry to a mall in Bengaluru, causing uproar among the public.</p><p>The Deputy CM condemned the incident and said that traditional dresses like dhotis are allowed in places such as malls and theatres.</p><h5>Action taken!</h5><p>Several farmer unions criticised the mall officials' actions and requested that officials take action against them. The police registered an FIR against the mall owner and the security guard who stopped the farmer.</p><p>The mall received a warning regarding their denial of admission to the farmer and was locked down for a few days due to nonpayment of taxes. They have apologised for the incident and have paid the outstanding taxes.</p><h5>Not the sole incident!</h5><p>This isn't the first incident in the state. Months ago, a labourer was denied entry into the metro because he wore a worn-out shirt, which sparked public outrage.</p><p>Since there have been many such incidents, the government plans to introduce a dress code to put this issue to rest once and for all.</p><h5>Clothes shouldn’t be a reason to judge anyone!</h5><p>Everyone, regardless of their attire, should feel welcome and included when visiting malls and other public locations.</p><p>The choice of the clothes we wear is deeply personal and is a form of how we express ourselves. A person shouldn’t be treated differently based on what they are wearing.</p><p>We must strive hard to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all by embracing diversity.</p>

The decision comes after a farmer was denied entry to a mall in Bengaluru because of his clothes.
