The ubiquitous mobile phone. One can’t imagine life without it now. Although there are a few Luddites and non-conformists, most would agree it is a godsend. Some would even go to the extent of saying it’s the best thing since sliced bread. While the Karnataka health minister argues that it is a health hazard, the education minister feels cellphones are the root of all distractions. He has even gone a step further and banned it for Plus 2 students on campus.
Now let us remeber many other states had done the same before and many others are seriously thinking of the same now !
There have been umpteen claims of the ill-effects of the use of cellphones like impotency, brain damage, effects on the heart and so on. However, none of these claims have been empirically proven.
Cracking the whip on parents too is stretching it a bit far as most of them want their wards to own a cellphone. Its convenience outweighs the perceived risks, they feel.

Banning Mobile Phones in campus is not fair at all.
Th main aim in banning is 2 reduce the misuse of mobile phones,there’s no point in that.If a person intends 2 misuse the cell phone ,he will do it in some or the other way.
Its really a callous act that’s being done to the students.
Giving red alert all the time banning cell phones doesn’t really work out,instead it creates vendetta with the authorities.
The ban has only burgeoned the use of cell phones.
So the ban should be pulled off.
