Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar chaired a meeting at his office to review progress on the prison reforms package on Tuesday and directed to expedite the implementation as no attention was paid in past to providing facilities to prisoners.
The meeting was attended by Prisons Minister Fayyazul Hasan Chohan, SACM Hasaan Khawar, chief secretary, ACS (Home) and administrative secretaries.
The CM directed to start the recruitment process against vacant posts in jails without delay while ensuring merit in toto. Similarly, medical officers should be recruited for jails hospitals without delay. The MOs would be given a separate cadre besides the provision of special allowance, he added.
