- Rule 474 of the Bengal Jail Code is reproduced for the information and guidance of Police officers -"Where the police lines are sufficiently near a jail for the alarm signal to be heard there the constables stationed at the police lines shall take part in alarm parades, and if there is an outbreak they shall march to the jail to assist to quell it. The Superintendent shall make with the Superintendent of Police such arrangements as seem advisable for a concerted plan of action in the case of an outbreak."Note. - In view of the fact that the Superintendent of Police is specially trained in the duties connected with the quelling of disturbances, this rule should be interpreted to mean that in the event of an outbreak in a jail the Superintendent of the Jail should ordinarily ask the Superintendent of Police to take charge of the operations. The Superintendent of the Jail will continue to remain in charge of the jail. (Government of Bengal, Revenue Department, Order No. 2385 R. J., dated the 7th March, 1923.)
