A total of 303 inmates are observing the Ramzan fast in the high-security Bhagalpur Central Jail, jail superintendent PK Jha said.

Special food arrangements have been made for prisoners on fast, he said, adding that the gesture by Hindu prisoners should set an example to others who want to divide society on communal lines, Jha said.
