Coimbatore: The district committee of the Discharged Prisoner’s Aid Society (DPAS) has been reconstituted with nine members including the district collector as the chairman, personal assistant (general) to the collector, Coimbatore, as member secretary and two non-official members— chairperson and founder trustee of GRG Institutions, Nandini Rangaswamy, and member of the bar council of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, R Arunachalam.
This move comes after the earlier district committee, which had been managing the juvenile home, communicated their inability to look after the observation home and recommended that the government take it over.
As many as 30 prisoners who were released from Coimbatore Central Prison in 2018 were not aided in any way by the society.
DPAS aims to extend help to release convicts to lead honest and respectable lives.
