Keys and locks being replaced at POS prison

Dillon said among the measures taken to prevent such a reoccurrence, are spot checks to ensure prison officers are in possession of keys, officers do not take keys with them when they are off duty and a closed circuit television camera system is in place. The minister also said a Prisons Service Committee has been established for the drafting of policies governing all administrative areas in the wake of the incident.

In response to another question from Moonilal later in the sitting, Works and Transport Minister Rohan Sinanan said the paving of a section of the Cuchawan River from Debe Hindu School to Gandhi Village Road would take place in fiscal 2017-2018, once funding was available.
