Special: FIFA WORLD CUP GERMANY 2006>>>

Despite many ordeals of jail life, the inmates of Bangladesh's south-west Khulna district jail are inan upbeat mood these days, as they have been provided with color TVs in each of the 12 wards to watch the World Cup.

But they have one big disappointment over the restrictions imposed by the jail authorities which allowed them only to watch the matches at night. They have been verbally barred from making noise by way of expressing jubilation when the team of their favourite scores a goal in the match.

The jail inmates have appealed to the authorities to allow themjubilating in a chorus after a goal is scored.

But there is no response from the the jail authority. So the inmates can only watch the football matches in their respective wards without making any noise.
