In the complainant, Mr. Dutt said the pupils were forced to remove their winter-wear only while conducting yoga and exercise, and that after that they wore back their warm clothes. Yoga and physical exercise could not be carried out in winter cloth and needed loose clothing, he denoted out. Kanpur Dehat District Magistrate Dinesh Chandra Singh said, “I am pained that some journalists who were not even present here have circulated such information that the pupils were shivering in the cold.”Be it a child, a young adult, or an old person, yoga cannot be performed wearing a sweater, coat, or pants, he said. “These children have performed well,” Mr. Singh said at the event, promising action against the scribes.
