Delhi Govt working to relocate Tihar jail outside city, strengthen judicial infrastructure: CM Rekha Gupta

New Delhi, Dec 13 (UNI) Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Saturday said that strengthening judicial infrastructure is a top priority of the Delhi Government, and efforts are underway to relocate Tihar Jail to the outskirts of the city to improve access to justice.
Addressing the gathering on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Society of Indian Law Firms (SILF), the Chief Minister said that ease of life is not possible without ease of justice.
