(Below are quotes from the news story.)
Magura Police have recently started an ongoing campaign against the town's youths sporting "fancy" and "flamboyant" haircuts.
Police, in behalf of the superintendent of Magura police, have hoisted notices at barbershops in Magura, warning the youth against getting any "bold" or "impudent" hairdos.
Additionally, they are holding discussions with barbers and hairdressers, making announcements through loudspeakers and distributing leaflets among locals to create mass awareness against such haircuts.
Magura Sadar police station Officer-in-Charge ... said: "We have found a connection between youths leading abnormal lives & engaging in criminal activities. ... The main objective of our campaign is to encourage adolescents & youngsters in practicing sober and normal lifestyles."
