A group of militants who are in jail at Kot Bhalwal set up their own band, named, the Inmates Pipe Band and was inaugurated by BR Sharma, principal secretary of the home ministry, Tuesday.
The band members will be allowed to go out of the prison confines to perform, officials said.
The band has been formed by the prisons department as part of its initiatives to reform prisoners and create opportunities for them for a fruitful vocation once they are out of jail. The band is also one of the very few "inmate bands" in the country.
