Echoing colonial-era punishments, Bihar is preparing to erect a hyper-secure jail on a lonely mountain peak, ensuring hardcore criminals face true isolation. Home Minister Samrat Chaudhary’s budget session revelation promises a facility where escape is a distant dream.
No networks, no web—just stone walls and silence. The single access road will be a gauntlet of guards and tech, making intrusion futile. This ‘Kala Pani’ redux targets the state’s most ruthless offenders, as directed by CM Nitish Kumar.
Chaudhary painted a picture of total detachment: inmates cut off from accomplices, families, and society. The site’s remoteness amplifies the security, with no specific district named yet.
Bihar’s prisons, like Bhagalpur’s, have held infamous figures, but vulnerabilities persist. This new bastion could redefine containment strategies, potentially curbing organized crime syndicates.
Public reaction is mixed—cheers from those weary of violence, caution from rights groups. As blueprints take shape, Bihar positions itself at the forefront of innovative policing, ready to bury its criminal underbelly deep in the hills.
