World Book Day observed in Puzhal Prison; Vairamuthu attended event

Chennai: The Tamil Nadu Prisons Department celebrated world book day in the Puzhal Prison on Sunday. Poet and lyricist Vairamuthu attended the event.
Vairamuthu said that he was hapy to address the prisoners on world book day and termed people who read books as thinkers. Highlighting the importance of books he said that every book can bring out the leaders inside the readers. “They are great tools for knowledge. Gandhi, Nehru and Nelson Mandela became leaders and came to jail. All of you should become leaders and leave the prison,” he said.
Comparing the inmates to butterflies, he said, “If a worm inside a cocoon can transform into a butterfly, why can’t my brothers inside the prison emerge as great persons. Use this time inside jail for self-introspection,” he added.
Amaraesh Pujari, DGP, Prisons and Correctional Services and other senior police officers from the prison department attended the event. tnn
