Alipore Correctional Home

Matang Sinh, the man who forced the exit of the country's home secretary from his job, has been summoned to appear at a Delhi court on Monday.

Three prisoners, including a murder convict, escaped from the city's Alipore Central Correctional Home today, a West Bengal minister said.

The Kolkata Zoo played host to an unusual set of painters yesterday. 20 inmates of the Alipore Correctional Home were at the zoo to participate in an art workshop whose theme was wildlife conversation. The inmates have been learning to paint for the last five years as part of a drive to use creativity as therapy.
