MALDA, July 20: The Malda Ramkrishna Mission is trying hard to bring back criminals into the main stream by organising various programmes in correctional homes. Some inmates have changed their way of life in Malda jail. Recently a bike lifter Anoarul Sheikh is working as teacher of a Madrassa. On Thursday Anoarul came to meet Swami Divyananda in Malda Ramkrishna Mission and donated 12 books on Islam religion to its library and donated Rs 100 for its development work. Anoarul, a resident of Madhaipur in old Malda, was lodged in Malda jail and came in contact with Swami Divyananda a few months back. “A few months ago he got a job in Hazi Kalutola Madrassa in Kolkata as a teacher for the students of Hafiz. Now he gets Rs 3500 and lives with his wife Sagarika Khatun there. He came to meet us and donated books for our library,” said Swami Divyananda. Divyananda expressed happiness over his mission in jail to bring criminals back to the main stream of their lives. Yesterday, Divyananda was able to call off the hunger strike of an inmate of Malda jail out of three who had started fasting from 12 July demanding justice. "Nipen Haldar, accused under section 302 IPC, has been denied justice for the last four years owing to the absence of a particular judge in Malda court," said Swami Divyananda. Though he had sent an appeal to the High Court through Malda Ramkrishna Mission but no one has responded. Yesterday, Divyananda met Nipen following the request of his mother Mrs Panchami Haldar, and requested him to call off his hunger strike at Malda district hospital. On 14 July the three inmates were admitted to Malda district hospital when they fell ill.
