President Droupadi Murmu Draws Attention To Overcrowded Prisons
President Droupadi Murmu on Saturday said the legislature, the executive and the judiciary need to have "one thinking" for the country and its people. In her valedictory address at the Constitution Day celebrations organised by the Supreme Court here, she suggested decongesting jails by helping poor people languishing there for years for petty crimes. "It is said that jails are getting overcrowded and there is a need to set up more jails. Are we moving towards development? What is the need to set up more jails? We need to reduce their numbers," she said in Hindi.
