The prisons in Hyderabad are making masks and sanitisers on a daily basis. These inmates were trained by a group of chemists to learn the art of making saitizers while professional tailors at the prisons taught them how to stitch the masks. The Telangana Prisons Department is selling these products under the ‘My Nation’ brand. They have also come out with a Health and Hygiene kit, comprising of washable masks, hand sanitisers, handwash, bath soaps and phenyl.
Around 9,000 face masks and 3,000 litres of sanitisers are being produced every day at Chanchalguda and Cherlapally central prisons in Hyderabad and other district jails.
The Prisons Department has been supplying these products to the health department personnel, police and postal staff, among other government agencies.
Telangana has won the Tinka Tinka India Award for four consecutive years. The recent was given to Basheera Begum, Superintendent of Special Prison for Women, Chanchalguda, in the year 2017 for her role in running a women petrol bunk with several former women inmates of the Telangana Central Prison. The award ceremony was held in Tihar Jail.
9000 face masks and more than 3000 litres of sanitizers have been produced everyday!!! Really surprising. Such things are enough to understand why Telangana has won the Tinka Tinka Award fro four consecutive years. #tinkatinka #vartikananda #jail
During the present COVID-19 crisis, Tinka Tinka has covered a number of jails across India in its Tinka Jail News segment. The stories that I have seen on the channel began with covering jails in Rajasthan, then it covered the Agra Central Jail, jail in Madhya Pradesh, Montage, then it progressed to report about the four jails of Mau, Hamirpur, Meerut and Pilibhit it then covered the jail of Haldwani, Uttarakhand, the jail in Maharashtra, the jail in Chandigarh, Sonbhadra jail, jail in Hoshiarpur, Punjab and the latest news was centred around jails in Kerala. Strangely, all these prisons that are engaged in making masks and sanitisers, for themselves, for the government and private authorities, haven’t been appreciated enought by most of the mediahouses. The role of media is crucial, it happens to be the forth pillar of a democracy, it is responsible for spreading awareness among the general public. They ought to report news that may help the society progress, they ought to appreciate worthy enough individuals irrespective of where they come from. They can facilitate in bridging the gap between the society and prisons. But alas! All they seem to care about is their TRP gains.

COVID-2019 has affected us all in various ways and it’s not going away soon. Taking care of ourselves, putting on masks, and keeping social distancing are the key factors you can follow. In such horrible times, these inmates are helping us with stitching masks is a creative work and publicizing it under my nation brand to help them buy these masks. I hope people see their appreciable work and don’t judge inmates. Introducing a video call system is a new step to being digitalized. And Vartika Nanda and Tinka Tinka are doing great work as being a bridge between these two worlds and giving us this information.
