Assam bans beef in hotels and at public functions
The Assam government has imposed a sweeping ban on serving and consuming beef in restaurants, hotels, public functions, and other community spaces across the state.
After imposing stringent rules upon the Afghan civilians, the Taliban have now segregated weekdays of male and female university students, at two institutes to put an end to co-education.
In a bid to end co-education, the Taliban Ministry of Higher Education has announced the allocation of specific days in a week for male and female students to attend universities separately.

According to the new timetable, three days will be assigned for the female students of the universities where no males will be allowed. Similarly, the other three days will be appointed solely to the male students where no presence of a girl is permitted.
In a video clip, Ahmad Taqi, the spokesperson of the ministry said that this decision was taken following the suggestion of the University of Kabul who emphasized that separated weekdays of male and female students will enable them to have enough time for practical activities and scientific research.
For now, this decree will only be implemented at the University of Kabul and Kabul Polytechnic University, coming into effect in May, reported Khama press.
Earlier, the Taliban had ended co-education in universities, separating morning classes for girls and afternoon classes for boys.
The Taliban had also banned secondary education for female students. Although this decision has been withdrawn, they are yet to be reopened.
