Chandigarh: In a significant decision, the Punjab Government has decided to operationalize a special phone number of Headquarters inside the jails of the State where the inmates would be able to lodge complaints against any wrongdoings going on inside the jails.

ADGP Jails PK Sinha said that the unique move is aimed at putting a stop to the bribery, drugs and other illegal activities in the jails.

He also said that the inmates/prisoners can register their complaints by making a call free of cost from the PCO installed in the jails with regard to anything fishy going on inside.

He further assured that the complaints so received would be thoroughly investigated and if found correct, then the culprits would be strictly proceeded against.

Earlier, the ADGP Sinha visited the various barracks of the Rupnagar jail especially where women inmates are lodged and appreciated the embroidery, wall paintings as well as kitchen work done by them. Afterwards, he addressed the inmates in the Gurudwara Sahib inside the jail and said that the Punjab Government is going to implement a master plan to stop the incidents of suicides by the inmates in the jails.
