The prison department has requested a budget of 7.201 million rupees for the transfer of the jammer, 11.2 million rupees for the construction of the new tower and 188 crore rupees for the annual maintenance of the equipment.
Due to concerns about ineffective jammers installed in the Rajasthan Central Prison and the use of cell phones by prisoners, the State Prison Service has requested the Interior Ministry to transfer equipment worth Rs 2012 lakhs to three prisons for better results.
“In the past, in many security prisons. The jammers could not work efficiently. As a result, the prisoners secretly used cell phones. A letter written to the Home Office on July 5 says.
“Not only is the government having difficulty restricting phone use, prison security is also affected. Higher courts also take these issues seriously. The letter also said, "In order to prevent prisoners from using the telephone and to better interfere, we ask you to approve the transfer of these 57 jammers to the two central prisons of Bikaner and Bharatpur, as well as the prison of Ajmer's higher level of security.
When asked why jammers couldn't produce effective results, more money should be spent on cell phone jammer, Prison Police Commissioner Bupendra Singh said, “When jammers are close together, jammers can provide better results. Currently the jammers are placed far away and therefore cannot provide the desired results.
The jammer is a mobile communication device that transmits in the same frequency range as the mobile phone, which generates strong interference from the base station and prevents the mobile phone signal and transmission of calls.
Singh said, "In order to achieve better results, we have asked the Home Office to transfer these jammers to three prisons in order to increase the concentration of jammers and achieve better results. This means that if some inmates pass Talking on the Phone, you can hear a clearer and more audible voice. "
The prison department also wrote to Bharat Electric Co., Ltd. (BEL) on May 24 to express his displeasure with the disruptors. A police officer said BEL is the only company licensed to sell wave jammers in India.
The use of cell phones by inmates is increasing because the jammer (BEL) you have placed is not valid. These incidents seriously affected the security of the prison. The Jaipur High Court judge also tasked the prison department with recovering the money from creating artificial disruptors in the prison. "" Spending Rs 2,012 crore is an inefficient spending category and raises a question mark about performing your completed job. "
