Gujarat state grants 15-day parole to 143 eligible prisoners so they can spend Diwali with their families at home. Multiple outlets report the same number of beneficiaries and the same parole duration, describing it as a state concession timed to the festival.
Times of India and India Today focus on the overall count and the parole arrangement for Diwali, including when the parole period begins. NDTV adds broader context, saying the state has granted Diwali parole every year since 2003 and specifying that eligible women and eligible men aged 60 and above receive the benefit.
While the core facts align across outlets, they differ in how much eligibility detail and historical background they include, with one outlet also mentioning a start date for the parole period.
