Besides this, the arrangements for applying of bail through the advocate of Free Legal Services Authority should be for those prisoners who cannot apply for bail due to financial problem through the private counsel", said Manjit Singh Nagarg, Deputy Commissioner, Ferozepur in a meeting called to review the reducing of crowd in the jails.
On this occasion, Fatehdeep Singh, District and Sessions Judge was also present.
