Authorities are taking steps to restore live power to the electric fence at Puzhal prison, which has reportedly remained defunct for the past three years.
The issue came to light in connection with the prison’s security arrangements. The fence is intended to operate with alternating current supply, and efforts are now under way to make it functional again.
Puzhal prison is one of the important correctional facilities in the state, and the restoration of the electric fence is part of improving its security infrastructure.
