Bedbugs,mosquitoes give Lalu sleepless night
Will Act On Problem Immediately,Say Jail Authorities
Ranchi: Mosquitoes and bedbugs gave Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) president Lalu Prasad a sleepless night at Ranchis Birsa Munda central jail,where he was lodged after his conviction in the fodder scam on Monday.
The ex-Bihar CMs VIP status meant he got a mosquitonet,but that was not of much help.Lalu,who woke up around 7am on Tuesday and took a stroll on the upper division jail campus,complained to jail authorities about the pathetic condition of his cell,which has a fan but no air-cooler.
But Ranchi deputy commissioner Vinay Kumar Choubey said Lalu had not complained.We will soon take care of the bug problem. He read newspapers in the common hall and talked to inmates,convicted in the multicrore scam,dressed in his personal vest and pyjama and not in the clothes provided to him in jail.Jail sources said Lalu,who was not his usual chirpy self,later ordered tea for everyone after watching news on TV.IG Shailendra Bhushan said two convicted criminals have also been appointed to be at the service of Lalu,allotted prisoner number 3312.
Later,Lalu met his supporters and had breakfast and lunch they had brought for him in the common hall.As per the jail manual,Lalu will get 350 gram rice,117 gram pulses,233 gram vegetables,233 gram potatoes,467 gram curd or milk,29 grams ghee,and two fruits daily.Inmates have complained about bedbugs in the upper division jail for the last two years.But after Lalu moved in,jail authorities decided to hire an agency to deal with the problem.
The problem is a lengthy one and no action was taken in the past two years.The cleanup will cost around Rs1.5 lakh and a special sanction is required to get the funding approved, said jail superintendent-in-charge Dharmendra Pandey.I will write to IG (prisons) in this regard. The IG said he would immediately act on the request.
