Sherpur district jail has reopened on a limited scale after remaining inactive for four months due to extensive damage caused on 5 August.

The jail received 13 inmates following court proceedings on Thursday, marking the resumption of its operations, said Sherpur District Jail Superintendent Md. Shafiqul Alam on Friday (13 December).

Sherpur Chief Judicial Magistrate Md Sultan Mahmud inspected the jail before the reopening, along with other judicial officials.

On 5 August, miscreants broke into the prison, vandalised it, set it on fire, looted case files and weapons, and facilitated the escape of 518 inmates.

Jail Superintendent Shafiqul Alam said that renovation work at the facility, carried out by the Public Works Department, is 80% complete. The allocated budget for the project stands at approximately Tk1.6 crore.

However, two preliminary tasks, including the installation of CCTV cameras, remain pending, he added.

He also mentioned that the prison has been made operational to reduce the inconvenience of transferring inmates to Jamalpur.  From now on, those arrested in both new and old cases will be brought to this prison.
