Srinagar
Government of Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday shifted 22 inmates from Central jail Srinagar to Baramulla and Kupwara jails.
Sources said that on Tuesday morning a team of officials headed by Naib Tehsildar came to the jail and inform the inmates about the shift.
They said a large contingent of CRPF personnel was ready outside the jail to stifle any aggression from the inmates.
Earlier on April 5, intense clashes broke out inside the Central Jail after the prisoners protested against the construction of the new barracks in which several prisoners were injured and the Central Jail equipment was also damaged while barracks were set ablaze.
