Bedsheets, blankets and other linen items produced by inmates of Tihar jail in New Delhi are likely to be utilized by government hospitals in the capital.
The Delhi government is considering using the products, produced by Tihar inmates under the brand name TJ's, in 40 hospitals run by the local administration.
There is a huge demand for fresh linen in Delhi government hospitals due to growing number of patients.
Mr. Sunil Gupta, PRO, Tihar Central Jail, told fibre2fashion, “There is a proposal to supply products made by Tihar inmates to government hospitals in Delhi. The matter concerns the Department of Health and we are awaiting a nod from them.”
“Once the proposal is approved, we are ready to supply bedsheets and blankets to hospitals. The inmates are currently manufacturing these products and there is no harm if these items are used by hospitals,” he adds.
