District & Sessions Judge Gurbir Singh along with 20 other judges conducted a surprise check at the Central Jail in Ludhiana today.
The surprise check was organised under the "Connect to Serve" campaign. Singh was also accompanied by District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) Secretary cum Chief Judicial Magistrate Dr Gurpreet Kaur, several other judges, Jail Superintendent S S Boparai, besides others.
It is pertinent to mention that this is for the first time in the state that more than 20 judges have conducted a surprise check in a jail.
Singh said during today's surprise check, all the judges interacted with 3,350 inmates and undertrials and took their feedback about their problems.
Different teams were formed and they visited different barracks, he said. Besides, the judges took notice of the basic facilities, kitchen, food, bathroom, jail security and other aspects.
Singh said the judges would be preparing a detailed report, which would be discussed in detail later. Action would be taken later regarding any changes to be made with respect to the functioning of the jail.
