Security arrangements in U.P. jails under scanner

Allahabad: Following an increase in number of incidents of attempted jail breaks and violent clashes between inmates in the past one year, security arrangements in jails across Uttar Pradesh have come under scanner. “A Task Order containing specific guidelines for sprucing up the security arrangements in and around the prisons has been sent by DGP Vikram Singh to all district police chiefs,” SSP (Allahabad), Binod Kumar Singh, said here. The missive from the DGP gives specific instructions for closer monitoring of movement of visitors in jails and also calls for a more active participation of the police force for maintaining order inside the premises. - PTI
