17 inmates escaping from a prison in Tamil Nadu is unheard of in the state’s history, and it is a serious issue.
The jailbreak raises serious questions. It is difficult to understand how 17 prisoners could plan and execute something as audacious as this!
What happened to vigilance inside prisons?
How can a prisoner scale the walls of a high security Puzhal Prison and escape?
How did the solar-powered electric fencing fail?
All this has happened within a week.
Who will be held accountable? Will the Chief Minister fix responsibility?

What’s the use of such a portal @ECISVEEP?
