Bhubaneswar: To improve the security system and keep a tight vigil on the activities of prisoners and employees, 64 CCTV cameras were installed in Jharpada Special Jail on Thursday.
A total of 16 walkie-talkies have been provided to jail employees to maintain proper coordination among themselves on jail premises.
Apart from CCTV surveillance, luggage scanner and metal detectors have also been installed at the prison.

jail. Drugs and narcotics were also recovered from different jails.
