Karnataka says social media ban is Centre’s domain; Education dept to seek Centre’s advice

The state said it can only control devices in schools and colleges but cannot enforce restrictions on personal devices. Karnataka's education department plans to seek Cabinet recommendations next month on implementing device-level controls within educational institutions.
