Maharashtras Prisons Overflow At 173% Capacity; Arthur Road, Thane & Taloja Jails Among Worst Hit, Mankhurd

Maharashtra's prisons operate at 173% of sanctioned capacity.

Arthur Road, Thane and Taloja jails are among the worst affected.

Overcrowding, staff shortages and poor infrastructure raise inmate welfare concerns.

Authorities hope the proposed Mankhurd prison will ease the crisis over several years.
