State of Punjab - Subsection

Section 339(j) in Punjab Jail Manual, 1996

(j)In the case of an escape or disturbance at night, or after all the gangs are inside the jail, the same method of starting an alarm shall be followed, namely, the blowing of a whistle and the conveyance of the necessary information to the jail gate, by the patrolling officer if after lock up, or by some junior official it before that time. A sentry shall be posted over the main gate and the necessary pickets sent to the rear of the jail to frustrate any attempt at an escape, as is done in alarm parades by day. If it be reported that a prisoner has escaped and it appears probable that he is still lurking within the jail, warders with lighted torches shall be posted at intervals inside the enclosure walls and the remaining warders divided into two parties each with lighted torches, one to search inside and the other outside the jail.
