Eluru district judge C. Purushottam Kumar has said that steps have been being taken to speed up the trials of remand prisoners and release them. Instructions have been issued to send the orders to avoid delay in releasing the prisoners.
Participating in the Prisoners’ Welfare Day observed on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti on October 2 (Monday), Mr. Purushottama Kumar said that the Supreme Court had directed to courts to conduct hearings through video conference. The government is imparting training to the prisoners through skill development programmes and providing counselling, he said.
Eluru district Collector V. Prasanna Venkatesh appealed to the prisoners to change their behaviour and lead a respectful life after their release.
