Sangrur (Punjab): In a good move to reform under-trials and prisoners and instill in them a sense of responsibility and good social and human values, the Punjab government has decided to send preachers of all religions to jails throughout the state.
The programme is aimed at reforming the jail inmates and inspiring them to get involve in social work when they come out of prison, says a report in The Tribune.
The state minister for jails, tourism and cultural affairs Hira Singh Gabria has said that the government will obtain the services of NGOs and other voluntary organizations to achieve results.
The government has also planned that Gurta Gaddi celebrations of Guru Granth Sahib, to be held at Hazoor Sahib, Nanded, from October 30 to November 3, will be telecast live in barracks of jails in the state through cable TV network.
