KP CM to pay fines of prisoners having served sentences
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Mahmood Khan announced on Sunday he would pay fines of inmates who have been languishing in Peshawar central jail despite having served their term.
The chief minister made the announcement during his visit to the prison. He sought details of all prisoners who had been unable to pay their fines from the jail superintendent.
CM Khan was displeased with poor sanitation in the jail’s kitchen and suspended the officer in charge of it.
He said there would be no compromise on the provision of adequate facilities to prisoners.
