Sisters Celebrate Raksha Bandhan with Brothers at Bathinda and Ludhiana Central Jails
On Raksha Bandhan, inmates at Central Jails in Bathinda and Ludhiana reunited with their sisters in emotionally significant meetings. Special arrangements allowed women to tie rakhis directly on their brothers' wrists, replacing usual barriers. Hundreds of women participated, with some traveling long distances. The events included moments like a prisoner meeting his newborn son for the first time. Jail authorities facilitated the visits with security, refreshments, and time management to support family bonds despite incarceration.
