With mercury levels rising in the Capital, an electrical repair shop at Tihar Jail has proved to be a boon for the inmates as well as the administration.
Unlike previous summers, when fans would take a long time to be repaired by the Public Works Department, they are now repaired in a matter hours.
The shop was set up in jail no.1 three months ago. It’s run entirely by the inmates.
Satish Kapoor, who is one of the trainers, says minor repairs are carried out almost instantly at the centre and the ones that require motor winding (which is also taught at the centre) also don’t take more than a day. In the last two months, the shop has repaired 137 fans.
“Earlier, it would take three months to repair one fan, due to which the inmates would suffer. Sometimes, fans would return as late as the winter months, when those were not even required,” says a jail official.
