Prisons over capacity
Jeevan Niraula, the head of Kavre Prison Office, said that the main problem is that there are more prisoners than the capacity in the prison. He opined that a certain number of prisoners should be transferred to a suitable place as soon as possible as the number of prisoners is increasing. He said that the construction of a building in a new location is the major need of the present time as the building where the prisoner/detainee is currently located is dangerous.
According to the government standards, the office has the capacity to hold 85 prisoners and 306 prisoners have been kept till the 4th of Sawan, informed Niraula, the head of the office . He said, 'Due to lack of space, we are forced to keep more prisoners than the capacity . We have brought this matter to the attention of the concerned agencies.'
