The new jail minister told a press conference on Tuesday, “Central jails in the state will be having 5G jammers soon. A proposal in this regard has been sent to the Union home ministry.” “Now, we have jammers only for 2G and 3G signals.

We plan to add seven more to check the use of drugs and mobile phones inside prison complexes,” the minister added. “If an officer is found using mobile phone inside jails, the first thing, we would do is suspend him,” said Randhawa, adding that over 1,500 mobile phones were recovered from inside jails in 2017. -PTC News
