Established in 1923, Hindalaga Central Prison in Karnataka is giving its bit in making masks for the outside world. Inmates lodged in this prison are making reusable masks at the rate of ₹6 per mask. They are making nearly 2,000 masks per day under the wage–earning scheme. Prison authorities have opened a stall that sells masks near the entrance of the jail.
Hindalga is one of the largest correctional centres in the State and around 800 undertrial inmates.This is the only prison in the state with the facility to carry out capital punishment. It is also considered as one of the high–security prisons in the state.

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, Telangana, Kerala, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and the latest news was centred around jails in Patiala, Punjab, jails in J&K, jails in Odisha, the Amritsar jail and now this video on the jails in Karnataka. Strangely, all these prisons that are engaged in making masks and sanitisers, for themselves, for the government and private authorities, haven’t been appreciated enough by most of the media houses. The role of media is to spread 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. Contrary to the general scenario, I’m glad someone is talking about this. #vartikananda #tinkatinka
