Punjab Jail Department to Get Modern Building in Mohali

Chandigarh : The Punjab Jail Department is set to get a modern facility after years of operating from rented buildings. The new building will be constructed in Mohali’s Sector-68, providing the department with state-of-the-art infrastructure to improve efficiency and administration. For years, the department has struggled with inadequate space and outdated facilities, which have hampered daily operations. The move to a permanent structure aims to resolve these issues and streamline departmental activities.
The Punjab government has approved the project, highlighting its commitment to improving administrative facilities across the state. Officials state that the new building will feature advanced technology, better security systems, and upgraded working conditions for employees. This step is expected to enhance the overall functioning of the jail administration, ensuring better record management and coordination among various departments.

Currently, the jail department operates from multiple rented locations, leading to logistical challenges and high operational costs. The new facility will centralize operations, making it easier for officials to manage cases and coordinate with law enforcement agencies. The construction is expected to begin soon, with a focus on creating a sustainable and well-equipped workspace.

The decision has been welcomed by department officials and staff, who believe this will significantly improve their working conditions. The state government has assured timely completion of the project, ensuring that the jail department transitions smoothly to its new headquarters. This development marks a crucial step in modernizing Punjab’s administrative infrastructure and strengthening its law enforcement framework.
