A recitation of the great epic Mahabharata was performed in Urdu at Tihar jail in New Delhi yesterday. ‘Dastan e Karan’ was performed by Mehmood Farooqui, written by him during his incarceration in the Tihar prisons.

BSF Director General KK Sharma was the chief guest of the function, while DG prisons Ajay Kashyap presided over the function. BSF DG Mr Sharma said in his address that the inmates in the prison were given a good atmosphere wherein they were trained and incorporated with skills to further lead a life with dignity upon their release.

DG prisons said that the prison administration did not leave any stone unturned to put efforts in providing a suitable atmosphere for their inmates so that they were not at all frightened during their imprisonment.
