Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir State Human Rights Commission (JKSHRC) on 9 October directed the State government to provide ambulances in all major jails for shifting of inmates to hospitals in cases of emergency.

\r\n\"It is directed that all major jails in the state be provided ambulances with escort on a permanent basis and this process shall be completed within a period of six months,\" SHRC chairman Justice (retd) Bilal Nazki said in an order issued on 9 October. |
