A circular about Valentine's Day allegedly from Islamabad varsity has been making rounds on Twitter.

In the aforementioned circular, the varsity has guided students to dress modestly on February 14. While the administration has asked the female students to "cover their heads, neck and chest according to the college's dress code", they have mentioned it is mandatory for male students to wear a "white prayer cap." There also has to be a mandatory distance of two metres between male and female students.
Twitterati shared their two cents on the guidelines.
This definitely feels like a step too far.

Some felt the circular was justified
There nothing wrong in it. But if anyone has the problem he/she can rest their selves at home. 👁️🧸
