TDT | Manama
• Eid reunites inmates, families
• Children's area set up
• Northern Governorate contributes
Families of inmates embraced a rare moment of warmth and connection during Eid Al Adha inside Bahrain's Reformation and Rehabilitation Centre, as part of a new initiative designed to strengthen family bonds and humanise the experience of rehabilitation.
Launched by the General Directorate of Reformation and Rehabilitation, the 'Eid Gathering' initiative gave inmates the opportunity to spend meaningful time with their loved ones in a specially prepared setting that included prayer spaces, visiting areas, and shared meals.
Family-first approach
The event offered more than just visitation. It created an environment of celebration and dignity.
Dedicated corners were set up for children, while hospitality services were provided to ensure families felt welcomed and respected during their time together.
Community support
Gifts were distributed to families in a gesture that reflected shared responsibility between state institutions.
The Northern Governorate contributed to the effort, reinforcing the principle of community partnership in the field of rehabilitation.
The initiative, officials noted, aligns with national goals to foster social stability by focusing not just on confinement, but on rebuilding lives through human contact, dignity, and family connection.
According to officials, the initiative is part of a broader strategy to promote psychological and emotional well-being among inmates, which is seen as critical to their successful reintegration into society once released.
Lasting impact
As Eid greetings were exchanged and children laughed in specially designed corners, the mood behind bars was markedly different.
The centre briefly became a space of belonging, hope, and renewed relationships.

"Light on One Side, Death on the Other: Survivor Describes Escape From Air India Crash"
TDT | Manama Amid the chaos and heartbreak at Civil Hospital in Asarwa, one survivor's voice breaks through with a recollection of the deadly Air India crash that has shaken the nation. Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, a 40-year-old British national visiting India to see his family, lay on a hospital bed with visible injuries to his chest, eyes, and feet. He was supposed to be on his way back to the UK with his elder brother, Ajay Kumar Ramesh (45), when tragedy struck just moments after takeoff. 'Within a minute after the takeoff, I felt the plane wasn't moving right. It started going down,' Vishwash said, his voice trembling. He described the harrowing moments when the aircraft failed to gain altitude. 'After the flight got stuck, I looked to my left and saw an open space with some light. On my right, there was a building wall. I saw people dying in front of my eyes.' The crash, which happened within seconds of takeoff, left a trail of devastation. Many families are still waiting desperately for news of their loved ones at the hospital. Vishwash's account is a painful reminder of the human cost behind every aviation tragedy. While he miraculously survived, the fate of his brother remains uncertain at the time of reporting. As investigations begin into what led to the crash, survivors like Vishwash are holding on to hope, and memories of the terrifying seconds that changed their lives forever.
