Jaipur, May 7 The teachers, students and other staff in all government and private schools in Rajasthan's Kota have been barred from using mobile phones during the school hours, an official said on Tuesday.

A notification issued in this regard by Tej Kanwar, Joint Director, School Education Department, Kota division, mentioned that teachers will have to submit their mobile phones to the principal after reaching school.

According to the Joint Director, these orders were issued around one and a half months ago.

Following the instructions of the state Education Minister, a reminder letter has been issued for its strict implementation.

The principals have also been directed to keep the mobile phones of the employees in safe custody.
