Srinagar: At a time when J&K is grappling with the Covid challenge with positive cases and deaths showing a spurt on daily basis, the UT’s Prisons department has a reason to cheer as not a single prisoner lodged in 13 major jails of the UT has been found Covid positive so far.

Prisons department officials say that in 13 major prisons of the UT, no prisoner has been found Covid positive thus far. The zero positive figure in J&K jails comes at a time when reports continue to pour in from New Delhi and elsewhere about many Kashmiri prisoners lodged in jails there testing positive for the Covid-19.

There have been seven new arrivals to the various jails of J&K besides the previous figure of 206.

“In case of a Covid positive prisoner, he/she is being shifted to GMC with guard till the same comes Covid negative. Even negative cases on arrival are put under mandatory quarantine,” he said.

“Every prisoner wears face masks, uses sanitizers while jails are being fumigated constantly.” (KNO)
