Mobile phones, junk food, energy drinks banned in schools

The Punjab School Education Department on Friday introduced stringent measures for students in Punjab private schools, banning mobile phones within the school premises.

The education government has banned cell phones, junk food, and energy drinks from all Punjabi private schools, according to a notice that was published here.
