Only KP police eliminated the A, B and C categories..
It has also initiated different skill development programmes including mobile repairing which is initially in progress at Peshawar Jail, he added. The IG Prisons said installation of the jammers and solar system were in progress in several jails and would soon start the construction new jails at Shangla, Nowshera, Malakan and Upper Dir. Replying to a question, he said after 1995 for the first time, the government of KPK had introduced jail reforms and eliminated the A,B and lower classes and now all prisoners would get equal status and full facilities.
Any reference? Is it in the judgement....He has been punished with hard imprisonment i.e. "Qaid Ba-mushaqat" so that does imply category "B"
