The order states that the creation of reels and videos during class hours is adversely affecting academics, the official said. Videos and reels can be filmed on any cultural or awareness-related issue on school premises, only after permission is taken from relevant authority. Videos can only be made under the supervision of a teacher. Disobeying these orders will result in action against the school head, he added.
