Indian Oil Corporation along with Jail authorities in Tamil Nadu is planning to set up five petrol stations near prisons. The fuel bunks would be operated by prisoners whose behaviour and character are found to be satisfactory, said the Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police (Madurai) Palani, reports Daily Pioneer.
Soon, a petrol pump would be set up near the Palayamkottai Prison in this city as a part of this initiative as per reports by PTI.
A seminar was orchestrated for the purpose of training the prisoners so that they can operate the pumps.
