this deal is over

The cabinet abolished the closed prison system in view of the difficulties of returning to prison after appearing in court from distant prisons. In fact, in districts like Lalitpur and Gorakhpur, there was a system of keeping prisoners in a temporary jail overnight or for a day or two, if they could not return from the distant courtroom at a given time, which has been abolished. In addition, the provision of separate prisons, dry toilets and lanterns for European prisoners was also removed. At the same time, the special arrangement for keeping tuberculosis patients in Sultanpur Jail was also abolished.
