Bringing curtains down on the Heritage Jail Week celebrations, Home Minister Naini Narasimha Reddy on Monday inaugurated an Ayurvedic Village for ‘panchakarma’ ayurvedic treatment on the premises of the Sangareddy Jail Museum here.
Speaking to reporters, Mr. Reddy said the State is excelling in almost every sector and there is no place for corruption. “None in the Cabinet dare become corrupt. The Chief Minister (K. Chandrasekhar Rao) removed a deputy Chief Minister (T. Rajaiah) and it’s a warning for all that corruption will not be tolerated,” he said. He refused to elaborate on the ‘corruption’ that the former deputy CM had been involved in, saying ‘inside issues’ will not be disclosed.
Asked if permission had been given to the Congress party’s proposed Bus Yatra, the Home Minister said it had not come to his notice.
He asserted that the crime rate in the State has reduced drastically, and the police given the best of facilities to be able to crack cases quickly, at times within 24 hours. He also said there was no communal or Naxal violence in the State.
Addressing a gathering of students at the jail, the Home Minister said that the jails department has been trying to increase its revenues by establishing industries and petrol bunks and providing employment to ex-prisoners.
MLA Chinta Prabhakar and Director General of Prisons V.K. Singh were also present at the event.
