Hazaribagh Jail to Mimic Port Blair's Cellular Jail for Notorious Criminals
- •A high-security jail in Hazaribagh, Jharkhand, is being built on the lines of Port Blair's Cellular Jail.
- •It will house notorious criminals from across the country, keeping them in separate cells to prevent mutual contact.
- •The jail will feature advanced security systems including high-definition CCTV, electric fencing, 5G jammers, and AI-based surveillance.
- •Inmates will be unable to see each other's faces due to the cell design, ensuring complete isolation.
- •Part of a national scheme, this 98-crore project is one of six such high-security jails being constructed across India and is expected to be ready by July.
