A high-powered committee headed by a high court judge today ordered the release of jail inmates except those involved in serious crimes to decongest prisons in J&K, a government spokesman said.
The committee at the same time has ordered discontinuation of all the visits of outside visitors, including NGOs to jail inmates. The committee has said the families of the jail inmates can only meet prisoners virtually on phones.
