A private nursing college here has kicked up a row by allegedly placing curbs on growing beard citing hygiene, with some students from Kashmir claiming that it affected their religious beliefs.

The management of the Adarsha College of Nursing said the move was mainly to promote hygiene but the issue has now been resolved.

When asked whether the college had passed any order pertaining to growing beard, a college official told PTI, "No. It is not true. Already we have sorted it out. Students are already in the classroom.

There was some misunderstanding between the students and the management. Now everything is fine."
