The prison administration has not been able to return the prisoners who were injured in the violent incident in the Kailali prison and were discharged after being treated at the hospital. Seti Provincial Hospital has discharged 36 people so far. Three of them have been transferred to Kanchanpur Jail on Wednesday. All others are in the provincial hospital.
48 inmates were injured in the incident that took place in the prison last Friday. Three seriously injured people were referred to Kathmandu while others were treated at Seti Provincial Hospital. "Now only 9 people are being treated here. We have discharged the others," said Kishore Shrestha, information officer of the hospital, "but the prison administration has kept them in the hospital."
Kailali police chief SP Balnarsingh Rana said that they had to be kept in the hospital after assessing the possibility of insecurity in the jail. "We have arranged security arrangements for the house of the provincial hospital where prisoners are kept, like a prison," he said. A joint team of police and armed police has been deployed for security outside the building of Corona Hospital under the provincial hospital where prisoners are kept.
Prison administration says that the condition of the prison is normal. According to an employee of the prison, there is an analysis by the security agencies and the prison administration that there is a risk of being attacked again if those who were injured in the incident a week ago are returned to Kailali prison in the current state. "If they are sent back, anything can happen," said the employee, "the fear remains." We are not in a position to say anything with certainty.
Jalandhar Bhusal Jalandhar Bhusal says that what will be done will be decided after the arrival of the new Chief District Officer. The number of prisoners is huge. Returning prisoners to prisons is risky. He said, "They stay in the hospital for some time."
Another employee of the prison said that the option of transferring the injured inmates to another place is a priority. According to him, relatives of prisoners have been asked to apply for transfer. Chief District Officer Gogan Bahadur Hamal has been dragged to the Ministry of Home Affairs after the incident in the prison. Krishna Prasad Lamsal was appointed from Dang in his place, but he did not arrive till Thursday.
