SHILLONG: Learning a lesson from the May 3 Williamnagar jailbreak resulting in the escape of as many as six prisoners including militants, the authorities have beefed up security of jails deployment of  ensure proactive police guards besides optimizing their role in the overall security of all jails.
Indicating this on Wednesday, the Additional DGP in-charge prisons B L Buam told The Shillong Times, “I have visited all jails and depending on the security need of each jail I have taken proactive steps”.
According to Buam, the physical security of each jail is reviewed and a separate Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for each jail is under process since each jail is having unique topographical location and building plan.
As lack of sufficient man power is a perennial problem, Buam said that he had taken up the issue with the Government to enable the department to fill up all vacant posts in  jails so that permanent staff can be appointed after imparting them professional training.
Earlier, soon after the inquiry conducted by Buam, one jail staff of Williamnagar jail was dismissed from service.
However, he is waiting for the magisterial enquiry report for further course of action.
