A fake notification about Punjab University’s dress code for the university students on 14 Feb (Valentine’s Day) was widely circulated on social media on Sunday.
The ‘notification’ directed students to observe Feb 14 as “Haya Day” and follow a specific dress code.

The male students were directed to wear ‘white prayer caps’ while female students were asked to wear ‘black burqas with black gloves and socks’. With ‘Urgent Notice’ as the subject, the notification seemed fake in nature but still attracted widespread attention on social media.
