The Covid-19 vaccination of eligible jail inmates is in progress and was started from the ‘holding centre housing over 200 illegal immigrants from Myanmar here, Director General of Police, Prisons, VK Singh said on Saturday.
He said there were no Covid positive cases among over 4,500 inmates in any of the 13 jails across the UT, which is a “big achievement” despite the lethal second wave which forced the department to suspend the physical meeting of the inmates with their relatives for their safety.
“The vaccination drive was started on April 6 from the Holding Centre, Hiranagar, in Kathua district, where 58 eligible internees were inoculated. Srinagar central jail saw 38 inmates being vaccinated against the dreaded infection on April 16 and another group of 16 inmates received a jab in the District Jail, Rajouri, on April 19,” Singh said.
