The Gujarat village Suraj banned mobile phones for minor girls. The sarpanch of the village said that gullible minor girls fall easy prey to roadside Romeos when they talk of love on the cell phones. Cases of elopements were on the incresae due to use of mobiles. Moreover, long conversations on the mobiles disturb studies also. Any girl violating the rule will have pay a fine of Rs.2100. This decision won the approval of not only the Panchayat members but also of the entire villagers.
