Chhattisgarh govt mulling 'hyper security' in jails

Ambikapur (Chhattisgarh), Nov 26: The Chhattisgarh government is considering arranging 'hyper security' in prisons in view of an unprecedented spurt in inmates' escapes.

''The state has a paucity of jails personnel,'' Director-General (Prisons) Santkumar Paswan told mediapersons here yesterday.

About 25 per cent of sanctioned posts for prisons are vacant, the officer claimed.
