Prisoners protest

BANGALORE: Convicts and undertrials in the Bangalore Central Prison went on a snap protest for nearly seven hours on Thursday. While the convicts demanded premature release, the undertrials wanted the Government to solve the problem of lack of personnel escort to take them to court.

Many of the inmates went on a hunger strike around noon. The convicts wanted the State Government to take a decision on their premature release done during the Independence Day. Additional Director-General of Police (Prisons) Dharampal Negi went to the prison and held discussions with the inmates. He assured them of addressing all the issues raised by the inmates.
