Speaking on the occasion, Superintendent Jail Hamid Khan, who inaugurated the training center, said that they were providing skill development opportunities to the inmates as a top priority in order to make them useful citizens of society after completion of their punishment.

"For the course registration with NAVTEC we have applied and the process has been started, before the official start of the center we have launched the training of inmates by using our own resources and will be able to impart training of 20 inmates in the jail," he said. The training will help them to get employment easily after release from prison, he added.
