Muslim and Sikh prisoners give special messages from prison
Let us tell you that 96 prisoners in the Central Jail are observing fast on Chhath Puja this year, of which 47 are women and 49 are men. There is so much faith among the prisoners in the festival of Chhath that two Muslim prisoners and one Sikh in jail also fast on Chhath this time. This time, more prisoners than women celebrate Mahaparva Chhath in the Central Jail. Jamshed Alam, who is serving a life sentence and observing the fast, said he has immense faith and belief in this festival. He has made some wish and therefore has been fasting on Chhath Puja for many years.

Meanwhile, Julie Jailabme, who is serving her sentence, is fasting in Chhath for the fourth time. However, due to the way in which three Muslim prisoners and a Sikh have given the message from prison, it is necessary to spread it in society.
