Jail sources said that 182 prisoners were released from District Jail, 14 from Central Jail and three inmates from Borstal Jail.
District and Sessions Court Judge Abid Hussain Qureshi paid a visit to District Jail in Kasur where he gave Eid cloth to women prisoners. He also ordered the release of 21 inmates involved in petty crimes. On other hand, a large number of prisoners, involved in different crimes, have filed petitions to be released so that they could celebrate Eid with their family members.
