CM Yogi ended the punishment of black water during the British era,

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also called for fulfilling five vows in his historic speech from the ramparts of the Red Fort. In this, the second vow of India’s renaissance was – complete renunciation of the slavery mentality! PM Modi said that we may have broken the shackles of slavery in the year forty-seven, but many fetters of independence are still holding on to the Indian society.

To become a developed nation, now not even a small part of the slavery mentality should be within us. Following this vision of PM Modi, UP CM Yogi Adityanath has abolished the punishment of Kalapani by changing the jail rules of the British rule. Earlier in Maharashtra also an order has been issued to say Vande Mataram instead of Hello, a symbol of slavery.

Yogi government made major changes in the jail manual running since the British era. Several meetings were held for this change, after which these big steps have been taken. Uttar Pradesh Additional Chief Secretary (Home) Avnish Kumar Awasthi said that the Yogi government wants to work in a positive direction.

The jail manual has been changed on the instructions of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The punishment of black water, which has been going on since the British era, has been abolished. Not only this, the naming ceremony of the child who will be born in the jail will be there. The religious leader will do the naming according to his religion. The government will also make arrangements for his education and food. The Yogi cabinet has approved the proposal to release the UP Jail Manual-2022. The proposal to be released on 2022 has been approved.

In the new system, it has been decided to provide special facilities to the prisoners, especially women prisoners and the system of transfer for the punishment of Kalapani has now been abolished. It is worth mentioning that during the British era, there was also a provision to punish the soldiers who participated in the freedom movement with black water. Giving information about the decision after the cabinet meeting at Lok Bhavan, Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Prisons and Home Guard Dharamveer Prajapati told reporters that the cabinet has approved the proposal to release the UP Jail Manual-2022.
