In another development to the National anthem issue, the Supreme Court on Tuesday issued a notice to the Centre on a plea seeking singing of national song Vande Mataram for all educational institutions.

Giving the Centre four weeks time to respond to the notice, the top court said it will hear the matter on August 23.

The apex court also exempted the categories of disabled persons from standing during national anthem before screening of a film.

The Supreme Court in December last year had asked all cinemas halls to play the national anthem before a film is screened 'for the love of the motherland'.
