Ludhiana, May 24, 2025: A team of approximately 400 police personnel from the Commissionerate Police on Saturday conducted an extensive surprise inspection at the Central Jail on Tajpur road lasting over five hours.
The search operation was led by Deputy Commissioner of Police Parminder Singh Bhandal, with Jail Superintendent Shri Shivraj Singh present during the exercise.
The DCP explained that the unannounced inspection aimed to curb narcotic use, maintain law and order, and address various security concerns within the facility. The operation was kept strictly confidential to ensure no opportunity for miscreants to evade scrutiny. Female police personnel specifically inspected the women’s barracks to uphold privacy and protocol.
While no illegal items or narcotics were recovered, the DCP emphasized that such surprise checks instil fear among inmates with criminal tendencies, deterring unlawful activities. He affirmed that regular inspections would continue to ensure the jail serves as an effective reformatory. He also urged inmates to abstain from illegal activities and focus on personal rehabilitation to lead honourable lives post-incarceration.
The team further evaluated the jail’s perimeter walls, surveillance cameras, and security systems, expressing satisfaction with the existing measures. He also issued directives to Superintendent Shivraj Singh to ensure regular medical check-ups for inmates and maintain high standards for food quality.
