Claims by some women that they were turned away from taking a driving licence test for wearing jeans and capris were debunked by a Regional Transport Office here, which said they have not enforced any dress code.

The women were allegedly told by a Motor Vehicles Inspector at the KK Nagar RTO office here recently that their "dress was not appropriate" and to wear salwar-kameez to take the test.

On the allegation, officials at the RTO (West) claimed, "no woman was sent back for that reason, it is not correct."
Another official said "there could have been some misunderstanding..ours is only a suggestion for both men and women but never a rule or a binding diktat."
