The administration is rapidly advancing the installation of barbed wire fencing near the road alongside the jail.
To address security concerns, authorities have significantly increased security precautions around Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi. As part of these efforts, checkpoints have been established on Adiala Road near the jail to strengthen perimeter security and improve surveillance. The installation of barbed wire fencing around the jail’s perimeter is underway, aiming to bolster the facility’s defenses and deter unauthorized access.
Furthermore, additional law enforcement personnel have been deployed both at the jail site and in the surrounding areas. Road blockades have been strategically placed on Adiala Road, adjacent to the jail, while prominent banners prohibiting meetings with inmates have been displayed at the main entrance.
The administration is quickly advancing the installation of barbed wire fencing near the road by Adiala Jail, aiming to finish the project swiftly to enhance perimeter security. Strict restrictions have been enforced, preventing unauthorized individuals and vehicles from accessing the jail’s surroundings, while only authorized personnel are allowed entry.
To manage media presence while adhering to security protocols, media satellite vehicles will be permitted to park at a designated location approximately two kilometers away from Adiala Jail. This arrangement ensures media coverage while minimizing potential security risks.
These measures were implemented during the ongoing National Accountability Bureau (NAB) reference against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Founder Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, which took place inside the jail. Bushra Bibi was transferred from Bani Gala sub-jail to Adiala Jail, where Accountability Court Judge Nasir Javed Rana presided over the hearing.
Bushra Bibi’s daughters, Mehrunnisa and Mubashira, visited Adiala Jail to meet their mother. Accompanying them were Imran Khan’s relatives and legal representatives, such as Umair Niazi, Usman Riaz, Khalid Yousuf, and Barrister Ali Zafar. Meanwhile, a scheduled emergency drill at the prison was postponed, as per sources.
