The health situation of inmates Jagganath Yadav, 32, of Sonigama8 and Sigheshor Yadav of Nathpatti7, who are holding a fast-unto-death protest inside the Jaleshwor prison, is deteriorating. They have been protesting putting forward 5-point demand since March 10.
Their demand includes assistance to convert the prison into corrective center, release of inmates who have already served 50% of their punishment, among others.
The prison authorities claimed that the demands cannot be fulfilled from the local level and the prison department has been reported about the incident. They further requested the inmates not to hold such protest as the demands cannot be met immediately.
The regular health checkup of the inmates has been ongoing, according to prison health worker Shomendra Thakur.
