Washington (USA) – The University of North Carolina updated its weapons on campus policy to allow Sikh students to wear a Kirpan (small dagger) on campus. Two months ago, a Sikh student was arrested in the North Carolina University campus for wearing a ceremonial dagger and denied removing it. Now the University has revised the policy to allow it.
A prominent US university has announced that it would allow Sikh students to wear a kirpan on campus, a religious article in Sikhism.
