Jihadi’s target Jail officers inside Tamilnadu Prisons

After Ambur police, Puzhal jail officials taste jihadi barbarism

Puzhal central prison near Chennai is the huge jail establishment where dangerous terrorists are housed in the high security section. The other day, a group of Al-umma terrorist pridoners attacked and injured four prison guards. Not only that, they managed to lock up two jail officials inside their cells. The ADGP had to come and conduct talks with the terrorists in order to ‘release the officials’.

Critics including BJP functionaries described the incident as “terrorists staged an Ambur in Puzhal”. (It may be remembered that about 40 policemen and police women were severely beaten up by a gang of Jihadis in Ambur during a public demonstration). The immediate action by the authorities after the Puzhal incident was to shift a few terrorist to another prison. This prompted opposition parties to express concern over the law and order situation in the State. Particularly, the Hindu Munnani State Organiser Shri Bakthavatsalam pointed out the lack of a forum for the police and other uniformed personnel to vent their grievances.

He was addressing a demonstration by Hindu Munnani in Chennai to condemn the Puzhal atrocity of the terrorists. Hindu Munnani also staged similar demonstrations throughout the state. General opinion is that the State Government and the Central Government must work out a mechanism to protect law enforcing personnel.
