Deaths in Tihar Jail

Seven deaths in seven days in Tihar jail was one of the top stories of yesterday's news........
Although am not a regular 'TV news wathcher', this particular topic caught my attention......
Seven inmates of the jail died because of different reasons ranging from diabetes to dehydration to drug addiction.......
It was told the main reason could be the scorching heat of Delhi which was upto 43 degrees last week.......
And also the jail is meant to accomodate some 5,000 prisoners but now the number exceeds 13,000!!!!!!!!!!!
No wonder people are dying.........
The National Human Rights Commission is 'supposed' to find details about the deaths.......
But what's the point in just investigating and not finding any solution for the problem......
That's because i think they are not answerable to anyone and also nobody bothers to question them.........
