Petrol Pump Run By Prisoners

Tamil Nadu's prisone department is being praised for providing jobs to women convicts at a petrol pump in Chennai.

The nation's first retail fuel outlet run by women convicts who are still serving their prison sentences was inaugurated in Chennai on Friday by Tamil Nadu Minister for Law and Prisons S Regupathy.

Two prisoners, who were on night duty on November 10 at the Freedom Filling Station - an Indian Oil Corporation petrol bunk - run by prisoners in Pudukkottai district in Tamil Nadu, found a bag left behind by a two-wheeler rider after filling up fuel.

The country's first all-women petrol station run by released prisoners was inaugurated at Chanchalguda Central Jail premises in Hyderabad today.

Buoyed by the success of a petrol pump run by reformed jail inmates, the Andhra Pradesh government has decided to set up eight more such filling stations in different parts of the state.
