Mha States Prisoners

The Centre has asked states and Union Territories not to segregate prisoners on the basis of their caste and religion and to stop assigning duties like managing prison kitchens according to the discriminatory approach.

For efficient implementation of the scheme and seamless flow of funds from the Centre to the states, the states were asked to take a number of steps in this regard.

Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has written to all the states and Union Territories as well as their prison authorities to take effective steps to prevent prisons from becoming breeding ground for anti-national activities.
