LG nod for panel to implement scheme that would help poor prisoners
New Delhi: LG VK Saxena has approved the formation of panels for implementation of a scheme that would provide financial aid to poor prisoners who cannot be released from jail due to financial constraints like non-payment of fines or bail amount, officials from the LG secretariat said on Friday. A scheme is in the offing that would provide financial aid to poor prisoners who cannot be released from jail due to financial constraints like non-payment of fines or bail amount, officials from the LG secretariat said on Friday. An official from the secretariat said that the scheme would be likely to benefit nearly 162 prisoners in various jails of Delhi who are unable to be released due to financial constraints. In an official statement, the secretariat has said that the LG has taken note that implementation of this scheme has been delayed despite the union home minister writing to the state government in May last year to take advantage of the scheme for which the entire fund will be provided by the central government.
