No entry inside Naini Central Jail without negative RT-PCR report on Rakshabandhan

Prayagraj: The authorities of Naini Central Jail have made negative RT-PCR report compulsory for visitors arriving on Rakshabandhan to tie rakhis or get them tied by their brothers/sisters lodged in the jail.
Senior jail superintendent of Naini Central Jail, PN Pandey told TOI, “In order to follow the Covid protocol strictly, we have decided to allow only two persons of a family to meet the inmates.”
He added, “On Rakshabandhan, only women family members will be allowed to meet their brothers lodged in the jail.”
Similarly, brothers will be allowed to meet their sisters who lodged in Naini Central Jail.
Most importantly, only two family members will be allowed to enter the jail premises and they must carry a negative RT-PCR report (which is at least 72 hours old). Without the negative RT-PCR report, the family members won’t be allowed enter the jail premises.
Pandey, meanwhile, said that these measures would not only help authorities keep a check on the spread of Covid-19, but would also help manage the crowd arriving at the central jail on the occasion of Rakshabandhan.
